Lego C-17 Instructions

The Lego C-17 model is a replica of the C-17 Globemaster III, a long-range heavy transport plane manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. The C-17 set 22 flying records during testing, including shortest takeoff for its type and payload climb ratio. The Lego C-17 is an extremely complex model; to build it correctly you need detailed instructions, which are easy to obtain. You need to exercise patience and allow plenty of time to make the model. The result is an amazing example of Lego craftsmanship and something you will want to keep.
