Ben Brown Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Just about anything looks good in SEA. Even the C-17! Thanks, J! Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richter111 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Love the artwork! Did the C-17 ever get the lizard treatment, or was it too late for that one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Griff13 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hey Jennings!! Great Work!! Could you do one in the Euro 1 scheme? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
model junky Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Nice artwork! I have always thought the white over gray paint job was nice. Probably cooler for the crew as well. Funny thing about low contrast gray or any other camouflage for that matter, you can't hide from radar and at low level, the plane still casts a big dark shadow moving along the ground.

Jennings Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 The first prototype of the C-17 was in Euro I, but all the production birds have been in overall AMC gray. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 This is way too cool J! You've given me a reason to go out and pick this kit up. Now I just need to try and source some decals... Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Diamond Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 That looks great. They really should give the OK on that scheme for just one aircraft. Yes definitely, especially since the AF has been putting a big emphasis on heritage the past few years. Great work Jennings! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EDWMatt Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Howzis grab ya? Pretty sexy, eh? Way cool, as always, Jennings! I've got some old McDD "artists misconception" artwork that shows the C-17 in this very scheme. Always intended to do a C-17 model in this scheme and now you've re-energized my desire.

Slartibartfast Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I saw the title to this thread and thought "oxymoron". Then I saw the first post post and thought "My, my! How refreshing." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sauragnmon Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The camo on it looks really nice, I wonder what Night Intruder would look like on the C-17. Scary thing being, the RCAF has C-17's now if I recall, in the name of (finally) getting some Strategic Airlift capacity. Love the hercs (I swore when I was on summer training in the cadets by CFB Trenton they were part of the local wildlife) but they just can't lift some of the heavier stuff, and lack of domestic Lift capacity is why the Leopards were retired and Stryker MGS were considered for their replacement, so it's nice to see some heavy lift in our markings. Perhaps NMF is a bad idea, but why not RAF High Speed Silver instead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
