Amazing looking panel and VC.........maybe its just me, but...there is something just not right about that model (external)....just doesn't look right... cant put my finger on it.....dont think I'll bother with it.

A fine looking machine, dont have lot of millitary kit, but I do love the look of the C17, this is very tempting now, specially as I can save $20 on what the rest of you paid tongue.gif

You will have to let us know if that HUD collapses down, if it does not it will be a no buy for me.

Interesting Cockpit, was just looking at some real-world pics on the web in comparison, not quite what I was expecting from a Millitary aircraft, looks very.. whats the word... "Civil" ??

Charl cool.gif Now just for an airshow display smile.gif I was a little worried , scared the ground crewman was to get sucked through one off those engines , the cockpit is very civilized - guess they are looking for the Civil paycheck unsure.gif

I was a little disappointed with the C5 VC , but one i can say , like Alpha external models now Virtiavia , the externals in model and shape would be smack on the nose cool.gif

Me neither! Come to think of it, hardly anyone gets my money! laugh.gif

Checkout the Qatar C-17 livery at Area 51! No "all grey" fuselages to be seen there. Very colorful. cool.gif

Looks good AB.....their C-5 is great, but i agree with Ian about the VC. Ive been looking at the Alpha, or whoever they are now...C-17 , and its just not right...i think its the front....something very odd....area 51 looks fine. Maybe Im picky......Alphasim to me , was Phil...i was getting his stuff right from the start...now this new crowd have got it (i know he's still involved) but ....argh, i dont know......good on ya Phil, hang in there, and if you ever come back, youv'e got all my money.
