The ROC ones were colored perfectly. That and CS (Resolute) SE are better decos than their "25th/Resolute" counterparts. This is a really cool shot, more, more!
I wanna C-130 too! Awesome lighting in that shot! One of the most under rated fig of the 25th. I have over 40 of those mustard stain shittin' mofo's. TJ Max is such a pusher man.
psst... Not sure you can still blame others once your collection occupies 60% of the house.
how bout a 1:9th C-17?
Monster Globemaster
Steve F R (sorry, Steve) send these images of the largest hobbyist R/C craft I've seen. (7 images total - all pop-ups.)
This 1/9th scale radio-controlled C-17 model was built in the United Kingdom. To date it has about 20 flights. It was built as the centerpiece of a 15-program television series produced in the U.K. for the Home and Leisure satellite TV channel. Built with the aid of three friends, it took one year to build and is powered with 4 Jetcat P-120 turbines with a total thrust of 108 lbs. The models weighs over 250 lbs fuelled and carries 12.5 liters (3.3 US gallons) of 95% kerosene and 5% turbine oil fuel.Other details include 5 Futaba PCM receivers, 16 battery packs (93 cells), 20 Futaba servos, on -board air compressor, electro/pneumatic retracts, etc. Wingspan is 20 feet 8 inches and the top of the fin is 74 inches (6 feet 2 inches) above the ground. Takeoff weight is 264 lbs.
The rear cargo doors open and they drop an r/c jeep on a pallet, as well as 2 free-fall r/c parachutists. The model also has smoke systems both of the inboard turbines, and uses 2.4 GHz data link to provide real-time data to a laptop computer on the ground while in flight; this data includes airspeed, turbine RPM, EGT, fuel consumption, etc. It is covered in fiberglass and epoxy resin. Built mainly from balsa and ply, with many glass and carbon fiber moldings to reduce weight, this C-17 Globemaster III is one of the largest jet models in the world today! Complete with retractable landing gear and pneumatically operated flaps.
The four builders are shown in the image above. Colin Straus, the owner, is at the nose of the aircraft.
