Title: C17A Globemaster but different
Post by: kpnuts on June 14, 2014, 07:16:27 PM

hi all getting bored of my christine build so want something else to rekindle my mojo so thought I would start the kit my missus bought me a while back the Revell C17A but I dont want to build it as it is in the kit (RAF\QUATAR) I dont want it to be boring grey or white or a combination of either does anyone know of a colourful version, or any suggestions on a livery for it I dont mind what as long as its colourful and believable. Or I thought as a last resort I would create KP Airlines. any ideas, thanks in advance

Why not try it in WW2 RAF desert camo & call it a "memorial scheme"? ???

Alternatively, do USAF markings in Euro One "lizard" scheme.

Hi all thanks for all your input have decided to go with my own airline KP AIRLINES as it incorporates my initials and my missus it will be based on the KLM livery only where it's white it will be blue. I will be using Humbrol enamels French blue 14 for the KLM blue and Sea blue 47 for where it's white and the pin stripes or go faster stripes? Don't know what else to call them Bright red 19 what do you think.
