Popular Post nearsightedjohn Posted April 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2016 Here's my 1/72 Revell C-54D Skymaster in colorful '49 scheme. This is my first attempt at mixing NMF with multiple solid colors - an exercise in multiple masking applications/ re-applications. The white super flexible Tamiya thin masking tape was a Godsend, particularly on the front edge of the vertical stabilizer. I installed the flap brackets early in the build and broke nearly all six during the painting/ masking cycles. Revel graciously sent me a full set of replacements at no charge - what a great co. Only after market I used were white metal landing gear struts and lead fishing weights within the front fuselage. I lost one of the shorter exhaust and so went with the longer ones specified for the blunter nosed '48 version but prefer the look of the longer ones. I'm quite impressed with the stock Revell decals! This kit is an all around fun build which makes me want to do it all over again with the DC-4 version coming out later this year - thinking all NMF with a classic 50's airline branding would look good. The yellow ladder is a Russian photo etch product from modelua.com, a breeze to assemble and fits nicely with the front cabin door. Enjoy!
