No Sh!t.  You are really something else Fly-in-hi.  =D   Beautiful.  Have an Detail shots?

Wow, thanks bvallot!  

No, I don't really have any good detail shot because I'm not that good of a photographer.  I end up taking these pics on my kitchen counter and the lighting isn't very good.  I'd like to get better at photography at some point though.  

This is sort of ironic since my wife is a professional photographer.Tongue Tied

Hi guys.  Here's my latest build, the Revel 1/144 C-17A Globemaster III.  I started this build for the Mighty Mini's group build but I came way short on the completion time.  If you are interested in seeing some WIP pics be sure to check it out!

I added the Wolfpack resin flaps and slats, used the Hickam AFB decals from Xtradecals and general markings/windshield decals from Draw Decals.  All the USAF decals are from the kit:

As you can see I've added some weathering to this build.  Those of you who have followed my last few builds know that I like to weather my models...even a bit unrealistically.  I just think it makes them much more interesting to look at.  In real life these C-17s are fairly pristine.  Some reference pics show some planes with uniquely dirty areas.  I combined them into this one build.

Most of the weathering is simply post shading and tonal variations.  I did use the Tamiya Weathering Master powders under the wings.  I also tried a new (to me) product.  I used the Ammo of Mig Deep Grey enamel panel line wash.  I am very happy with the results.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed it!
