Char what a monster of a model ! the Avro Vulcan gives a really interesting comparison of the size of this large aircraft.

We once inside one at Mildenhall and you could easily live inside one of these aircraft.

Really well done on your progress so far,you are tackling this model with the right approach,just keep plodding on,love the pictures.

Well thank you Barry. Im actually enjoying this. I thought as it was a rare model and a very expensive one i thought it would be nice to share it with all of you.

very nice there Char. i dont think i would have the guts to make a vacum-formed kit any time in the near future! you have very brave taking this one!

do you have decals and a paint scheme in mind for this yet?

Talking of paintschemes for the Galaxy, reminds me of a recent e-mail from a lady who had in her possession a manufacturers model of the C-5 Galaxy,nothing unusual about that except this one was very special,it had the colourscheme applied for that of a civil aeroplane,B.O.A.C in fact ( British Overseas Airways Corporation ) the outcome was that Lockheed were trying to introduce a civil version and had painted a few models up to use for promotional purposes,the model is very rare and up until my researches on this I had never heard of this project before ? anyway it appears that nothing became of it and it just got forgotton,just thought that this would be of interest to Galaxy lovers everywhere.

Charlotte you are a lot braver than me for tackling such a kit!! I can't believe how it dwarfs the Vulcan.

Make sure that you tie it to the ceiling well!

Hello guys. the paint scheme taht im going to do is Green and grey.

Dont worry Rich my dad knows how to stick it on the ceiling so it wont collapse. It will be hard though considering it has metal undercarriage.

Would take up most of your room but just imagine the diorama you could produce. Sat on the apron with a couple of vehicles in attendance and a few figures it would look stunning.

I reckon your Dad needs to move to a bigger house as he already needs another room for his 1/72nd U-boat pen diorama.

I'm feeling mischeivious on my first day home!!!!
