Revell C-17 Finally Complete

This holiday season I have a few days off coming, so I am going to finish some of what I have on the bench, before moving on to the Phantom GB and finishing up my Viper GB subject. Here is my C-17…this Revell kit built up pretty nice. I was disappointed in that some of the decals silvered and the masking for the windows solidified, so I had to scrape them off…will never use that brand again. Future brought back some of the clear aspects.

Very nice, ive been eyeing this kit for a while, but the cost is a bit prohibitive for me lol.

Nice work. I heard that kit is a gem and I am planning on getting one soon. I know it seems pricey for a 1/144 scale kit but it is still a pretty big model.

Local retailers sell it for $114 NZD

Holy [cnsod]!! I should buy one and mail it to you. That’s crazy.

Wow!!! I paid $40 US for mine…and the company accidentally sent me another by mistake and told me to keep it when I notified them of the error…my son says he wants to build it, but I doubt he will find the time…

Lucky bugger, whered u get it from? i might be able to get the same “problem” lol

Alot of modeling stuff is overpriced here. which is a shame.

Well done Hutch…!! I really like the over all build… Bummer about the window masks though ggrrr., My LHS shop got this in last week and I was surprised how big the box is for 1/144th… Geeez…

How is the over all detailing especially the interior?

May have to get me one of these after seeing yours!!

Flaps up,

I forgot exactly the shop…I got lucky last year when I did a search and got it from some small shop. Wish you weren’t so far away or I’d give it to you for a very deep discount!!!

Interior for the cargo area was pretty good, if you chose to have the door open. Cockpit had nothing, but no problem because you can’t see in there anyway.

They did huh?..hmmmmmm

Thatd be awesome, but i can almost garuntee the shipping would be worth more than the kit lol

On a related note…Anyone build the Anigrand resin kit? Saw one go on ebay for 35.00 last week. Should have grabbed it.

Good job! Been thinking about getting one of these.
