It's a completely different kit Kit, and waaaaaay better

Thanks Robert, so much for my plans NOT to increase my stock in The Loft then. :banghead:

I have a Gabriel on my 'RW to do' list and I have two of the Heller offerings that I'd planned for that.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Jeepers that A400M looks good.  :thumbsup:

But that's THIRTY TWO prop blades to assemble! I can't beleive they moulded them in one pice with the spinner.


The prop blades are so close together that making a mould for the entire prop would be very difficult.

Almost a surprise that it is not 1/144th as their C-17, Antonov 124 and other transport kits and Airliners were.
 
Hmmmm, wonder what kind of gunship "puff the magic dragon" thing a Transall could become?

Think I'll be getting an A400 or two, need some curvey prop blades for something.

  If you look at the pictures of the prototype kit in the linked site, there is also enough aircraft interior structures and goodies to go a long way. Looks like what they did at Revell with the C-17 and the Antonov and they made a second inner fuselage tube with all the interior details that can be slid right in.
