Boeing C-97

[Samh93]

Hey everyone, been a while since I've built anything (busy at college) so I bought a cheap model from a toy shop and set to work. I built the model then thought I'd design some LED lights and motors to make it truly unique. It's taken a while to get it looking right but I think I've finally gotten the hang of weathering. Adding decals is still hell to me though. This is Academy's scale 1/72 model.

Thanks guys its nice to be back and building. It's been a lot of fun making this plane, I'm quite sad to see it coming to an end. Hopefully my next build will be just as much fun.
