No crew with this one so the Halifax crew have been reassigned, I'm putting the Halifax with wheels down in the bomber display in my wardrobe-now display area...

I think, looking at the kit that it has a smaller cargo section and more tail than a Herc. But she's still big as you say and two engines doesn't mean smaller as more funnels meant bigger in ships. I'm putting the interior together as far as the structure is concerned, details can and are being left off!!.Old_Tonto wrote:It does have a lot of parts but I understand the fit is very good.
I got mine on the basis that it would be smaller than a Hercules, what with it only having two engines.
Turns out that is's only 4 foot shorter.![]()
Another case of buy first and research later.
Thanks!, I wasn't sure for a moment if I'd got it wrong and my Herc was 1/144th but I think it is 72nd (it's the Airfix kit). The size is also why it's going on the ceiling, or hanging from it anyway!!.ShaunW wrote:Nice one, that is coming on very well Mark. The Transall certainly is a biggie and is one of those models that I would have to build in 1/144th in order for it to stand a chance of fitting into any of my display cabinets.
It's blooming massive considering it's only a twin engine aircraft!!. The kit is even more difficult to manage now the wing is on!.iggie wrote:That certainly looks to be a big wing!
That does put some things into proper perspectiveMarkyM607 wrote:I put a 1/72 scale Spitfire VIII on the back of the C.160 to show how big she is...
Thanks!, she has a coat of Humbrol 87 on now. must be the current scheme, no camo!. I think it needs a second coat. If I don't like the colour I might add camo!.Maverick231 wrote:Nice looking Transall mate!
