Thank you Sir. I have enjoyed this one, I think it was worth adding the pallets and chutes. I'll pop a couple of pics in the gallery in a moment but in the meantime....

Excellent modelling Mark, and you've got the pallet drop just right!
Best wishes

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

Thanks Iggie!. I'm not sure if the parachutes are big enough but they are big compared to the pallets. Glad it looks right, I only had to fix one hook to get this sorted!. :grin:

I agree with iggie the pallet drop looks excellent.

Without the pallets, it would have been just another boring grey aircraft, although an impressively big one and well built. With the cargo, the whole thing comes alive and turns into a great display piece. Keep up the good work.

Think you very much, it's nice to have had a good result that people like. I have to admit it made me smile and laugh in a delighted way when it was lined up. I found I enjoyed making the pallets immensely, more for the 'making something' aspect than the pallets themselves.

That's the only reason I build anything at all. Yet another plastic airplane is pretty far down the list of things I need, but I just can't resist the kick of building them :???:
