We will be away “On Assignment” until February 1st. We will be unable to answer emails or process orders until we return. We greatly appreciate your patience during our “Assignment.”
When Lockheed began delivering the world’s largest aircraft, the C-5A Galaxy to the U.S. Air Force in 1969, the aircraft were painted in the current Military Airlift Command (MAC) scheme of the day. Eventually, 81 -A model aircraft were produced. All were delivered in the color scheme represented by this very large and extensively detailed set which measures a full 9 x 9 inches and includes a four-page full-color instruction sheet.
The gray and white MAC scheme for the C-5A has been one of the most-requested sets, and we are pleased to add it to the nine other C-5 sets in our line.

NASA operated two converted 747’s to transport the space shuttle. The shuttle carriers were originally operated in a bare-metal scheme with red, white and blue stripes, then were repainted into this single blue-stripe scheme. This completely new decal replaces our previous NASA 747 set 747-13, and is available in 1:144, 1:200, 1:72, 1:100 and 1:288 scales. We also greatly appreciate the help with the color matching on this one!
Nice build of the Hasegawa P-51 in 1:72 scale by Paul Janicki. Paul used the original Hasegawa kit from the 1970′s. He removed the guns and filled the empty shell chutes on the wing undersides, then filled and smoothed over the rather coarse fabric rudder and elevators. Not having any views of the cockpit, he left that to imagination and presumed it would have been made into a two seater but decided to create a ‘blanking plate behind the pilot seat and removed the head rest from that. The brown paint used was by Life-Color French Chocolat acrylic glossed this with several light coats of Johnson’s Klear (‘Future).
The cockpit is a bit hypothetical, but without details of the many two-seat P-51 conversions, the area was a bit of guesswork. Can anyone supply any good details and/or photos of a two-seat Mustang conversion?
