Mav's C-27 - THIS IS SPARTA! - *DNF*

Post by IronMan129 »

This is not madness!
The kit I'm going to be buidling is the 1/72 Italeri C-27.

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.

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.
