erwin Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hi all, I don't usually make 'small' scale kits.But this one is for a friend/ex-paratrooper. He doesn't know anything about modeling,so if it looks fine in the end,he will be happy to have a reminder from the days as a paratrooper. The kit is the 48 th Italeri C-130.

erwin Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 what decoration?bruno Hi, My friend wants it in the Belgian camouflage:sand/dark green/light green with grey underside. Like in the pic. I will not have to pay much attention on the correct detail.He only wants a 'nice' looking model to put in his living-room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nev Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Should be big and impressive when finished, although I am concerned that you might not be able to fit a 1/48 Herc into Belgium :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
D_IcarUS_ Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Nice so far, but the picks don't help much :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oliver Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Erwin, I think this is going to be an impressive model! If this is "small scale" what scale do you usually build? Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erwin Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Erwin, I think this is going to be an impressive model! If this is "small scale" what scale do you usually build? Oliver Hi, Normally I only build WW-2 planes in 32 nd and 24 th scale. So this is an odd one out for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frank Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 If you plan on using the Daco decals, I hope you'll get recent ones (the first ones didn't adhere at all, although maybe micro set / sol might solve the problem) As far as I know, it was solved with the subsequent decals...

Nev Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well, I've got the Italeri 1/72 kit and that is pretty big, this thing must be huge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr B Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Looks very nice Love the size of the 1/48 Herc.......Got one myself........always putting building it off due to the space needed to display........... One day ....One day it will be built............anyways hope to see yours done up soon.......planning the same scheme ........for a Malaysian bird.....
