bashace Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Here is a model my friend Kristian built of a QEAF C-17. Since there were no markings available for this aircraft, we had to create them. I did most of the decal art work and Kristian did all the building and finishing. When I get better pics together I will post more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tdogg Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Great job, though I was kinda expecting to see this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Great job, though I was kinda expecting to see this one This aircraft was actually a commissioned build for one of the Qatari pilots who flies this particular C-17. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kris Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks for the kind words! It's been a long project, the Qatar Air Force markings on the forward fuselage were a real mission to get right, they have two separate and distinct curvatures that Ron and myself had to figure out by trial and error. Yeah, you can build the Qatar Airways one out of the box with the Revell kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll get some better pics up to show your great work once I figure out how to "paint with light" on the I am a spammer, please report this post.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kris Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Very timely post too, with the C-17s airborne today for Qatar National Day. A7-MAA was joined over Doha this morning by A7-MAB and A7-MAC. I noticed the 4th one is A7-MAE, possibly to avoid the registration A7-MAD? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Here's some pics I took with the apperature wide open for 20 seconds and a hand held flash in a dark room, it's my first attempt at this technique, still trying to get the hang of this macro lens also.

The fourth C-17 will be registered as A7-MAE. The Qataries did not want a MAD airplane Bashace good job trying a new technique in your photos. Keep practicing and you will get the hang of it.

Jennings Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Too bad you went to all that trouble for the Qatari markings. They're available from F-Dcal :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only Qatari markings I see on the F-dcal site are for the Qatar Airways scheme, is it listed somewhere other than their website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
