    J for John
    One of ten C-17A(M) aircraft in service
    This is a game changing aircraft
    The Anigrand kit is a superb 👌 build. It is one of the best resin kits I have ever made :)
    Accuracy wise
    Matchbox trencher did the panel lines
    Some say the cockpit area and nose is missed. Personally it’s ok
    The main accuracy issues are:
    The hatches above the gear sponsons should open and gear legs protrude slightly
    No moulded chaff flare canisters
    The main glitch is that the port rear paratrooper door and air deflector (both sides) is missing.
    The decals are weak amd miss the walkways and slime lights
    I have added pitot probes snd sat comm awrials along with extra MAWS
    I used spare decals from a C-160 which was lost in a house move :(
    I amended a C-130H refuelling probe as the KC-135R retirement means the A-400M will be the main tanker and they are probe and drogue.
    Would I recommend this kit? YES
    SOMETIMES BUILDABILITY TRUMPS ACCURACY
    I HAVENT shown the underside as i aint got the energy sos 🆘

    That is a Super Build.
    What a Great Model you have created.
    It looks pretty ordinary when you take the bits out of the box, but put together like this & fashioned as you have makes it a Great & Unique Build.
    Really terrific & it gives me good ideas for my own build as well.
    Cheers

      Thank you 🙏
      The parachute door air deflectors and the lack of aerials/walkway decals are really the only major standout big issues along with the landing gear protrusions :)
      Otherwise a fun 🤩 build :)

      Just looking at mine, yep I see what you mean.
      I may have said I saw a C5 Galaxy Anigrand build at a model show once & it was impressive & this is really Every Bit as Good in terms of Scale Modelling an Anigrand kit to get the best out of it...

      Cheers :) I am hoping to get some anti biotics tomorrow.
      Just totally worn out - long covid smashed me up massive. I guess high levels of initial exposure or four/five jabs… jury is out :)
      I’d made a good recovery too I thought!
