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!
We were pleased to attend the 2011 IPMS-UK Scale ModelWorld held this past November 12 and 13 in Telford, UK. 2011 was our fifth consecutive year to visit Telford, and we are booked to be back in 2012. Please enjoy the photos in the Telford 2011 Gallery of some really nice models on the display stands at the show.
Antarctic Development Squadron Six (VXE-6) operated on the continent of Antarctica as the United States Navy’s only unit directly supporting the mission of polar research and scientific programs of the National Science Foundation. During the summer training cycle from March to September, the squadron is based at Naval Air Weapons Station, Point Mugu, California. This set depicts the three UH-1N “Hueys” operated by VXE-6.
As an extra treat, we are pleased to have photos of ”Gentle 15″ built by Terry Davis using the Italeri 1:48 UH-1N kit. Terry’s model placed first at IPMS show held this past September at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum in McMinnville Oregon.
