Combat Models
Yep….I have a C-17 from Combat in 1/72. A vac-form kit. But its probably the worst kit I’ve EVER seen. (And I’ve seen some BAD ones!) The parts fit so badly the kit is almost unbuildable. One fuselage half is 6mm longer than the other, and there is wood grain down the side of one. I found Combat’s service lousey. They debitted my CCrd as soon as they got my order, but didn’t send the kit. I waited months, with no reply. I finally wrote back after losing patience to say “Where the f**k is my kit!” and they finally sent it. I bet they would never have if I hadn’t reminded them!
I’ve always wanted a C-5, but I saw a review of the kit and it didn’t look that accurate. ID’s reputation was never that good. The C-5 kit was picked up and re-released by a business called Delta Aviation Publications, who are also terrible to deal with. I ordered a C-5 kit from Delta, they debitted my card that day, I waited months, the kit never came. When I asked why, they said the kit wasn’t ready yet! It never arrived, and I had to get my CCrd co to investigate. Hannants has had the same prob with them. If you are desperate for a C-5, get a Revell 1/144 kit off Ebay, or scratchbuild.
