chrish Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Thanks, you should get one! It's a great build. the fork is in it tonight, I'm calling this one done...The stay home and safe is good for the health but hard on the stash. I took a little artistic licence painting the boarding stairs; These pictures were taken with the Iphone as my DSLR insisted on making everything look pink tinted again, no idea why that's going on now...pink eye? Thanks for looking I wonder what I should drag out and glue up next? LSP_Kevin, johncrow, rafju and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s nothing if not enthusiastic, but realistically, the kit would have had to retail for over $500, and he just doesn’t see the market for it. Well drat! Thanks for letting me know though!

The Madhatter Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Fantastic finish on the 400 Chris! That looks awesome. You got it finished pretty quick too Sad to hear about the C-17 though - I was looking forward to getting one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Fantastic work Chris - the RAF A400M Atlas C.1 is my favourite RAF aircraft and I also have this kit, which I am itching to make, but cannot just yet! (your build is an inspiration to me). I want to make mine as an RAF aircraft, but an struggling with suitable decals for it at present (Model Art decals provide the 100th anniversary sheme markings, but no RAF roundels, fin flash or other RAF A400 specific details, and Babibi decals - which are the ones I would like to obtain - seem to be constantly unavailable!). Once more, great work on your A400 Chris, it looks awesome! Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thank you very kindly guys on the bright side...if I can call it that, I see Anigrand lists a 1/72 C-17, although it’s a resin kit it can’t be any worse than the resin kits I’ve built from Scratchaeronautics (before they went under taking my money for the last two kits I ordered) daveculp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leitch Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Stay away from the Anigrand C-17 unless you want serious heart ache. Very inaccurate, loads of clean up, there is a build thread some where online. Andrew chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveculp Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Beautiful A-400M! I hope you can take a break from painting propeller blades for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrish Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yaaaaaa....I do enjoy a challenge, but gonna take a hard pass on that one Thanks for the kind words on the A-400. A walk in the park (by myself these days) by any stretch of comparison to that Anigrand beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
