Mav's C-27 - THIS IS SPARTA! - *DNF*
This is not madness!
The kit I'm going to be buidling is the 1/72 Italeri C-27.
Here is an overall photo:
I'm going to be using the boxed decals but instead of the camo finish the instructions show she's going into an allover grey scheme that the Italian Air Force sport in the present day.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Mav's C-27 Spartan
Oh, not this kind of Spartan!
Very cool choice. Should look good in grey.

Wishing you the best of luck, I hope everything goes smoothly.

Thanks Splash!
Things went horribly wrong but at the end of it all Mum and baby were ok which is the most important thing!
Now onto sleepless nights and getting our little Princess into a steady routine!

Thanks OT!
Ok so now Scarlett's easing into a routine I think this bird may just start her engines before the deadline.
I'm going to aim for Monday for the restart but I will keep the thread updated.
