This plane is made from genuine photographic paper 4R prints and thus the shiny look. Bet you'll understand how tricky it is to glue photographic papers together without doing extra work like scrapping off top or bottom layers, as the case may be, to make it work. BTW, I have reduced it to 1/200 to save space and it will be another item in the OBP's planes in 1/200 series.

What kind of glue do you use be cause for photo paper i use super glue but you need to massage the paper before gluing and you need to position in 100% all the time

Great build. I like the way it looks, photo paper can be a bear to work with. I use it in matte, when I want to get some small details to pop out. Costs more for sure.

Very nice build. 1/200 is small but you do a fantastic job nonetheless.

It is a good build. However, the U.S. national marking is on the wrong side
on top of the aircraft, and the USAF marking in backwards (even if it were on
the underside of the wing). You might want to pass this on to Aaron.

Dang...didn't even notice that.:rolleyes: Was too busy admiring the overall great looking model.

He must have an older version. I already fixed it.

Yes, it has been fixed and I verified over at Ecardmodels. Anyone who purchased before the fix (early March, 3/10/12 is last date showing updated file) should head on over for the corrected file in their accounts. ;) If unable to get the file send an email per usual.:)

First it was the Bronco CAF, then the A-10 and now the C-141. So the lesson to learn is not to buy right after they are released (like what I used to do) but wait until no error is reported.

That won't happen anymore. I'm back to doing beta builds myself, so I can catch stuff like this before it gets out.

Good, that sounds encouraging to boost clients' confidence.

What ever you say, this is a damned fine build, and even more so with the use of photo paper - Well done indeed ;):)
