PitRoad 1/700 scale Lockheed C-5A Galaxy (S-1/SW-1000)

Post by FAAMAN »

This is what i call "small" or "tiny" :roll:

Lockheed C-5A Galaxy 1-700scale PitRoad kit S-1/SW-1000.
Both finished OOB 11May1991 as C-5A's 454/00454 & 456/00456.
Excellent kits, just very small and hard to finish convincingly, the landing gear being the hardest not to make a mess of. Still haven't finished the 4x M-1 Abrams or the 4x M-3 Bradley AFVs that go with these planes. I have a "few" more of these Skywave PitRoad kits to do, it will be interesting to see how they'll turn out with my skills now compared to then ;-) ;-)

Difficult to see where you can improve on these! Excellent job!
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

Those really do look the business, Faaman, you've made a great job of them. A few years ago, I saw a 1/72nd Galaxy built from a vac-form kit and it was huge - 1/700th would mean that at least I could fit a Galaxy into my display cabs!
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Thanks for the wonderful comments gents :beer: there is room for improvement though :pilot:

You really should find one of these and build it ShaunW, you'll get a C-5 for your cabinet at least :bounce:

Amazing especially considering the teeny scale. The tanks reveal how big the real thing is quite nicely.

Don't look at the tanks, they've still to be finished . . . . it's only been 26years 5months or so . . . :shock: :shock:
The first time I'll agree with the "teeny scale" comment ;-)

Wow. Those are amazing, I would never have guessed they were 1/700 if you hadn't said. I think you've done a brilliant job.

Keep up the good work.
