An Airfix .... That's not a easy one. But so far, you have delivered a good result

Thanks gents and thanks for the offer Roderick, no parts needed at the moment.
Burkhard, yes that is a 777, I am converting it to a -300 using 2 Minicraft kits. I put it on hold as I had to get this C-130 finished by this weekend. I will be back to it when the C-130 is done and will create a project for it soon.

Ray, what are those planes on the back of the last photo? What brand and scale? Nice work

Eduardo, On the left is a 1/144 Revell C-5A. I want to refinish this one as I now have some much nicer and more detailed decals for it. The other is a 1/72 Academy B-50 which I made as a What-If ELINT aircraft giving it an updated RAAF paint job and few extra features.

Very nice indeed! I have a couple of Airfix C-130s in the stash and definitely plan on an RAF version. Thanks for the inspiration. I agree that the Airfix priops are just wierd! Are the Aeroclub Herk props still available? And yes, the bottom really is painted balck for anti-corrosion purposes, as verified by a former RAF Herk Nav. R/ Dutch
