Thanks, Don. But not as exciting as the previous three.

Not as exciting but still a nice addition and an excellent build.

Indeed, the RAF Tristar looks darn nice....

Very nice indeed. Way to go!

Glad you like it papermate!!! When I first did that recolour I thought it was rubbish. If I have time maybe I should do the Falklands War transporter.

There's actually 2 versions, but the only difference is a small Royal Air Force logo in certain spots. I'm gonna add the logos and a new registry number as 'decals' that can be glued on.

The recolours I did are the transporter versions, without the refueling modules. There are many RAF tankers, but have a few visual/structure differences. I was willing to do the tankers, but I don't know how to create 3d models or edit them....
The Falklands war Tristar is in the white livery. I will do a C2 transporter again.

Wait a minute.....am I the only one who's not able to see the RAF marking on the tail? I think the objects were deleted during the bitmap conversion....

[murphyaa]

I grabbed the wrong tail. I can switch it out with the correct one.

:edit: Hmm. The marking kept disappearing whenever I opened the file in photoshop. I cheated and got it swapped out though.

The model is now available

Glad you fixed it!!!
