I really appreciate the feedback in my C-133C post, thank you for the warm welcome!

Here's my next one-

In 2018 congress authorized 2 Airbus A400Ms as an experimental supplement to the C-17s based at Charleston AFB (decent base, spent 18 months there). Upon congressional approval, A400s 19-0062 and 0063 were ordered. Here she is today with C-17A 10-0223. Note the USAF IFR receptacle replaced the typical probe on European models, otherwise she's pretty much as built.

Both 1/144 Revell kits and I was happy with how both went together.

Following the Boeing KC-46 Pegasus, I guess she'd be the C-47🤷🏻�♂️

Great build,  I thought the C-47 belongs to the Douglas Skytrain aka Dakota.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Yes we like to give our aircraft names rather than numbers.  :thumbsup:

USAF likes to recycle names too.
It would probably get the recycled name of "goonybird" too!  :wacko:
