I've recieved this Shackleton as gift from a friend. Just tested it last night, and I must say I am very pleased with the model, and even more surprised with the VC!

Enjoy!

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Talk about a room with a view.  Grin
Thanks Jake. I did a little research after I posted and found out how large the canopy is. I like it.  Smiley

I think it just needs a paint job.

Agreed. One heck of a paint job would really bring it to life. Dont recall ever seeing a shackleton on here, ever!

Looks good.

I had the Shackleton in FS9 years ago .......... the pictures have probably been deleted from the server by now. I'll see if I can dig them out off one of the 50 or so discs of screenshots.
