caudleryan Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 If you'll take a look in the Trash Haulers GB, you can find a few builds there. It's in the completed 2009 GB"s. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 ..and I'm still working on mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clumber Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Mine still looks like this : but it is "on the bench" as in the dugout bench, so closer to being sprue-nipped than the poor kits waaaay out in the cold, dark garage. It probably has 3 or 4 ahead of it depending on random moods. Will probably start it near the *beginning of the year. ~ Tracy, most of my life in the shadow of McChord! In fact, when I was a kid I often convinced friends that we were required by law to leave our front porch light on at all times since it was a line-up point for the main McChord runway. It only took one pass of the ole' Starlifter overhead to make my ridiculous claim entirely believable, and I would suspect some poor grown-ups now still think it was true.... *note : i did not specify which year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_superbug Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 G'Day Like Ray aka "Trojan Thunder" Mine is still in the stage of being built. cheers Brendon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALF18 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Heres mine. Shawn Nice work! Which decals did you use? ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Can't remember the name but I think they came from Britain. I don't think they made the decals quite dark enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Mine still looks like this : So does my example, which I got as a surprise gift from Papa AB Hungary. Now I just would need Hungarian/NATO multinational Heavy Airlift Wing markings for it. That's only way I'm going to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Can't remember the name but I think they came from Britain. In that case it's probably the Xtradecal decals - they do a sheet with US markings and one for export birds. HTH, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Thats the one, Xtra decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Can't remember the name but I think they came from Britain. I don't think they made the decals quite dark enough. "They" is me. What's not dark enough? J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi Jennings, if you look at my finished model you can see the markings are rather light against the airframe. I used the recommended paint which does match up with the Canadian standards. Still just using the big "Canada" as an example its rather faint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Hi Jennings, if you look at my finished model you can see the markings are rather light against the airframe. I used the recommended paint which does match up with the Canadian standards. Still just using the big "Canada" as an example its rather faint. May need to "scale effect" the color to lighten it up. On a side note, I used Xtracrylix and MM enamel of the same color and MM was much lighter than the Xtracrylix (which seemed more accurate). Great way to do discolored panels, just use differend paint brands of the same fed spec. Edited October 14, 2009 by drhornii Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeskiM Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Mine is out of the stash and in the line to be built either next or just after that. Not to derail the original thread, but to add to it: Has anyone used the extended flaps from Wolfpack on this ? If so, what was your experience with it ? I have the set, but haven't even opened it yet to look at/dry fit it. Thanks, - Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
