Great build.
Looks like the real thing when i turn my eyes to the sky over Erkelenz.They cross the sky here 3 to 4 times a day.
They are on a Nato Base in Geilenkirchen.

Great build George! The panel line wash brings out the detail nicely. Did you use kit decals and did you have to rescribe to bring the detail out like that?
I ask as I have one to build and I would love it to turn out like yours!

I am very impressed, just needs some vapor trails and smoke to look just like the real thing

Hello Ray!Thank you for your kind comment!As you said,I used the kit's decals!Very nice quality even though kit's age!I used plastic card to close the landing gear doors and rescribe it.Kit has very nice panel lines and I think there is no need to rescribe more (except the problematic joins).I hope this helps!

Thanks George, very helpful. I have built one of these as a 707 Tanker but it did not turn out as nice as yours. I will look at rescribing the next one I do.
