Sometimes the only way to get a particular model is to do it the hard way. Such is the case for the Douglas C-117, which is only available in a very old-school vac conversion.

Hi there
What a stunner! If ever there was an advert for trying some classic vacuforms, this is it!
Hmmm... he says wistfully, eyeing his Stash....

Hi again
I'm surprised no-one else has commented on just how convincing some of the "in flight" photos are. We're seldom blessed with full-on sunlight like that here in the UK - and the usual advice for model photography is to aim for soft, diffused lighting - but there's something about the crisp natural light that really makes the model look full-sized. Some of the thumbnails had me thinking you'd been to an airshow!

How'd he do that?? Looks like someone tossed the thing in the air and he snapped it mid fall!
