Habu12 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 The kit is the Airfix Dakota, which is identical to the C-47 Skytrain kit and it's a gem! Alclad Aluminim, and Dark Aluminium was used for the metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alclad Aluminim, and Dark Aluminium was used for the metal. What a great result - got the Airfix kit too and I am gone be happy if mine turns out only half as a good as yours. I could even make a Canadian version too looking at yours. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's always nice to see a Dak in the One True Paint Scheme My Dad was a Navigator/Searchmaster on Daks on 440 Squadron back in the day, so I've always had a soft spot for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 That's a beauty, for sure! Excellent job on the weathering - it really does look like tired, old aluminium. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu12 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's definitely a smart scheme, which is why I chose it. And it was a bear to mask and paint. But the results are worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barneydhc82 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I really hate to be a negative spoiler but in all my years in the RCAF/CAF I never saw a C-47 weathered like this one and I saw a lot of them.. If you are going to finish a model t0p represent the real thing, please get some good references. Barney http://www.barneysairgorce.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
