Guest Peterpools Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 One good looking Starlifter - the finish is absolutely perfect. :thumbsup: Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Wow, that's a great build Shawn, especially given the reputation these Anigrand kits have. I've just moved your thread here to Non-LSP Works, where it more properly belongs. Kev shbemo13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Very nice build! I have one of these in my stash, nice to see it can be built into a nice Starlifter or "Silver Samlor" as we refereed to them in Thailand also known as "Freedom Bird"! It was a great day when the next one would leave with you on it bound for the land of the "Round Eyes"! Barry KAGNEW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I actually may repaint with gray scheme at some point. Good luck on your build, the 1/144 C-5 has been on my "buy" list for years, I will try again on EBAY.

kurth Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Nice work. I have two Nova Vacuform 1/72 C-141s in my stash. Crazy? yeah .. but the first one I got was cut out already and not very well, then I found a sealed one later. Any way when I eventually get around to one of them I sure hope I can pull off a finish half as nice. Edited April 26, 2015 by kurth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
