Need C-141 model

[kjumpmaster]

I am trying to put together for my grandchildren a little bit of my 20 years in tthe Army as a paratooper in the 82nd ABN DIV.  I want  to hang all the aircraft I jumped out of on the ceiling in our officee but I cannot find a C-141 that is priced reasonably.  My hands shake something aweful from the medicine that I take and I would never get a model together.l  A hobby  shop mentionied your organization and I was wondering if I bought the kit mailed it to you could you put it together for me and mail it back and I coulid pay you for your service.

Thanks in advance,

Atlantis models recently released the old Aurora C-141 .  It is an odd scale, but a larger size than the other kits that are available.  

Lockheed C-141A Starlifter 1/108 Atlantis

There are some smaller scale ones that would probably be more of a challenge, so I would go with this one.

David's suggestion to go with a simpler build is a good one, no matter who you have build it for you. 

As for getting someone to build it on commission, you'd want to find someone near to you IF possible so as to avoid having to mail/ship the model, especially after it's been built. My suggestion is to go to the IPMSUSA homesite and look at the IPMS Chapter info to se what chapter is nearest to you and then contact them to see if anyone in that club is willing to build the model for you.

No matter who you find, you'll have to work a deal with them. Don't be surprised if getting the model built is more expensive than you might at first expect. Just be sure to hash out all of the details ahead of time so the builder knows exactly what your demands/requirements are and you know what you're supposed to get in the end. Best of luck and thank you for your service!
