The PHX A380 still holds up pretty well!
And great job on the livery PHX and @DTcustoms

Now where's that mica VA A343 & A346 delivery scheme.......
 
Something different from those who know my usual purchases! A Dyess AFB C130H Hercules. You may be asking why and the reason being my cousin and her husband fly C130Js (the fancy new ones with the big screens!🤩) at Dyess currently. Last Christmas I made a custom board of the Dyess ramp to display the GeminiJets version of this plane and this year they will receive this one to park right next to it.

I’ve been looking for this guy on ebay for a good while, usually going for 80$ or more. This one I got for 33$, albeit without the F15 advertised on the box (or the plastic stand….meh). The F15 would have been cool to have and I may revisit this product in later years but for now the F15 didn’t serve the purpose of the purchase for my gift to them so I got a great deal all around imo.

Typical older dragon bubbling has unfortunately been hitting this model but not super noticeable from a distance.

Landing gear is all removable in typical Dragon Wings style.

Extra parts (included 4 extra tires in two sizes, the doors to make the ā€œin flightā€ style), and the open back door replacement):

I love this model a lot more than the Gemini version of this same plane. I wish I didn’t gift that one already or i’d do a good comparison of both. Perhaps one day!

Awesome. I also have a USAF C-130 by Dragon and the quality is wonderful!

It’s not bad for 2005! Now i’d expect maybe some rolling gear or slightly better mould shaping but it looks really good. I almost wish I wasn’t gifting it lol. I’ll have to get more military stuff in the future…speaking of, I got a tanker on the wayšŸ¤—
