Trojan Thunder Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) This is the Revell A400M 'Grizzly' kit but as an RAF example. Built almost OOB I updated the model with some features the operational aircraft has that the kit does not. added airborne self-protection sensors on the wingtips added additional antennas and drain masts on the lower fuselage repositioned the ailerons, elevators and rudder in power off positions added nano LEDs to the cockpit and cargo bay Decals were from the excellent Babibi sheet which included the 100th Anniversary tail markings for 70SQN and the later release kit with correct walkways and door outlines.

The Madhatter Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 oh yeah - that's awesome mate!! Love the lighting too - it's great to see you took that leap and actually did it 🙂 BTW - I think that's meant to be Nano - not nana - but maybe it is meant to be nana and they're really old LED'S 😄 they only come on once they've had a cuppa and a nap Those 2 aircraft of yours really dominate that table don't they? Are you going to bring them to Melb next year? I'd love to see them in the plastic Thanks for posting these Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for the lighting, I switched the lights on at about 10:30am on Saturday for the display and at 3:30pm on Sunday when I picked it up they were still on! I was impressed with the very low power draw. If I have enough room on the back seat they will be in Melbourne. I will have a few to contribute to the ACAM display (civil cargo aircraft) so I will have to pack creatively! 5 hours ago, phantomdriver said: Another nice build Ray!
