SimonL Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Here I present my first go at a conversion. Its the Red Roo Models RAAF Aircraft and Development Unit (ARDU) Project Ingara Dakota conversion, using the Italeri C47 Skytrain as the base kit. A review and information about Project Ingara can be found here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234999915-raaf-ardu-c-47-dakota-project-ingara-172-red-roo-models/ . I had a few challenges along the way (build thread can be found here), however I am really pleased by how it finished up. Main paint job was using Tamiya rattle cans. I hope I did the conversion kit justice @Ed Russell. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Fantastic job. I never got bored of seeing another DC-3/C-47 as there are so many different schemes and interesting versions like this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Russell Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Very nice. You have indeed done our little conversion justice. We are working on a lineal successor at the moment.
