New Anigrand

[NARSES2]

Not my scale but look at the 3 little extra's you get  

C-17 RAF

Right now, I'm drooling at the big Myasischev and the tailed delta-interceptors that it comes with, including an Anakonda  

[Hobbes]

Now to identify those small jets. I'm not too familiar with the earliest jet projects.
left (on the silhouettes drawing): DH Vampire?
middle:
right: Gloster E28/39?

[gooberliberation]

Looks like something Meatier(geddit?) than those other two jets.

[Hobbes]

Yes, but check the engine nacelles. Those don't look like Meteor nacelles to me.  

[gooberliberation]

If google serves me right, those nacelles look about right for a meteor F.3 or earlier.

I'm sat here thinking "when have RAF C-17s worn full colour roundels?", till I realised its for the 3 bonus aircraft  :dum:

Still, 45 quid for a big resin plane, plus 3 little extras ain't half bad.  If only I had some spare cash to spend....  

[Hobbes]

If those full-colour roundels are for the bonus aircraft, wouldn't you need more than 7?

Looks like a Vampire, a Meteor of some mark, and the original Gloster jet

[Mossie]

It's a DH Vampire, Gloster E.28/39 (company designation G.40 & sometimes called 'Pioneer', the first British jet aircraft) & a wartime Meteor, probably an F.3.  The F.1 & F.3's had quite different wings & nacelles to the post-war variants.  I think it's a F.3 because the nose looks shorter than an F.1's, although it's hard to tell from the photo, this & the canopy are the main visual differences between these marks.

Have a look at these comparison pics from Airvectors:

Much more manageable than Arnold's 1/72 kit & easier on the wallet two.  The price isn't too bad at all with those little early British jets, although they don't quite fit the era of the C-17!

Also looks like Anigrand fixed the windscreen on the C-17.  The 1/72 kit was unfixable, and utterly incorrect (rounded center panels rather than a sharp V).

Yep like the guys say, a DH Vampire (some may call it a Spider Crab), a Meteor F1 or F3 and a Gloster E28/39..... D*mn that's a lot of resin !

I've said it before & I'll say it again; Who cares?!?!?  It's a C-17 in 1/72!
