Rhino53 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hello all I am in the process of building a vac form 1/72nd scale model of a C-5 Galaxy, build WIP here. I am finding it difficult with a lack of a walk round and detail pictures. I have 2 books on the subject, plus a copy of the engineers handbook off the web, but I am looking for details on the landing gear bays, in particular the overall layout of the main gear bay, and the nose gear bay details. I would be grateful for any assistance that can be provided. Ted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lancer512 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Something like this? Are you sure this is a C-5 MLG? Different trunnion and inboard gear doors. It sure does look like a C-17 MLG to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zerosystem Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I think you're right. I'll second that. The mlg bay on the C-5 is a little more cavernous than that, apart from the well count on that gear being off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
