This is what i call "small" or "tiny"
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!

Thanks for the wonderful comments gents there is room for improvement though
You really should find one of these and build it ShaunW, you'll get a C-5 for your cabinet at least

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 . . .
The first time I'll agree with the "teeny scale" comment
Thank for the great comment Dwomby

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.
