Hello all;
I just finished one of the old AMT RC-135 kits that my dad had in the attic. I'm looking around online to find another one, but I didn't realize these things were so rare. Anyone know where I can find one?
PS, I'll post pictures of the build as soon as I get them off of my camera.
Thanks!

Hi there!
No, i had no real problems to speak of. The only issue I experienced was a bit of warping since the kit was sitting in the attic for so long. I thought most of the kit decals were incorrect, so I created a series of custom decals to model the tail number of the plane my dad flew on his finnie flight, as it appeared when he flew it. Here are a few pics of the finished product (albeit a few years late....), the rest can be seen in my main album here (http://s1141.photobucket.com/albums/n596/SamwiseVT/RC135%20Model/).

I have to agree with the others, excellent job. Brings back good memories of my time at Offutt AFB. I spent many hours around these aircraft. Thanks for sharing.
