I just got confirmation from Caracal Decals my RC-135 decal sheet is on the way so I decided to start this kit, as I always have loved the -135 series. Very remarkable the Ukrainians were able to produce and ship this kit in the midst of all out war. My plan is build an RAF Rivet Joint from 51 Squadron, which has been snooping actively during the war (now with Tiffie escort since the Orcs decided to crank off a missile near one of these a few weeks ago). Caracal has a couple of 51 Sqdn. snoopers depicted on the sheet, one with very cool tail markings. It appears to be a very nice kit from Roden with very fine, crisp panel lines.  |

The kit captures the looks of the real thing nicely, I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.

Robbo, not too bad in 1/144th. Crew? Flight deck crew and then up to thirty operators in the back operating the spook equipment.
