You've got TWO of them?

?

Yes. I had originally bought the Roberts Combat Models one, and then I found out that Gene's was the original, and more accurate. Curiosity made me buy it as well. I'm planning on starting a thread comparing the two.

The Air Material Command Museum at Dover AFB has a C-133.

In case you want some first person research.

One of these days we're going to do a tour of the US east Coast.

Big box arrived ! Dog for scale.

Yea but we really need to know breed of dog or see all of her/him to really get an impression

"correspondence from others whom have built the kit"

Saying "ARE YOU FRIKKIN INSANE! DO YOU REALISE WHAT YOU HAVE GOT YOURSELF INTO?"

That's a big challenge but i'm sure you're up to it. Can't wait to see some cut plastic.

Captain Canada · January 08, 2017, 05:48:49 AM

Monster size ! lol

I need to source out some balsa and some heavy card, and photo copy the patterns so I can start cutting. I hope to start this week. They'll be long term for sure, and a lot of work for sure, but somat to enjoy I hope !

I'll have to get mine out now Todd, mind you when I got mine I got a bunch of detail parts from Jerry Rutman too, unfortunately he's stopped doing them now. IIRC Gene had directed me to him.

Captain Canada · January 08, 2017, 06:23:48 AM

I've got the detail bits from Combat models, props and landing gear I think. There's a pic a few pages back. I'll start another thread today be easier to keep track of.

Pups always look so cute, especially when they know they've been naughty

You could change the tail for the An-22 or something similar.

I think PETA might have something to say about that.

This sticking to finishing my Luchs dio has really made for a boring blog eh ? My thoughts have been wandering tho....I glued tog together a wee Trumpeter 350 scale Avenger. Thought I'd get away with it but it still felt like cheating lol

That got me thinking of Avengers. I love the look, sound, Naval aspect of that machine. I'm thinking of a Griffon powered version using the bits from my collection of Shackleton kits.
