These seem to be really out of scale. May have to sand them down. You can see on the real thing that they're barely noticeable.

Seamwork can be tedious but it is an important step to get right!

Most impressive. That almost looks like a 1/72 scale one. Nice work!

Very cool idea!Medicman71 wrote:This has actually become a diorama idea. I do have a 1/144 C-17 in the stash. I was thinking of making a refueling diorama. Just gotta find some acrylic rod.

Nice progress so far. Just curious, but what paint scheme and markings are you planning for this build?
