Hi Badder,
You are right on the chipping, it was my first time with the AK Worn Effects, so in some areas the chipping is decent, on the Side-Rear isn't that great, like you said they are too large.
I wanted to display it on a base but the palm trees are too expensive, i just don't like display bases with only sand. I have one here, tried to do some test shots, doesn't look convincing to me
Hi everyone, this is the last model that i've finished. I was a bit bored doing only airplanes, so i changed subject doing a D.A.K. Vehicle
I don't build AFV's very often, this is the result. Hope that someone will like my work

Thanks for the info, i've already downloaded the picture from the largescaleplanes forum, i only need someone who can convert the photo in the correct dimensions for 1/48 scale and convert the file to a "vector-based graphics" (i have no clue on how to do it, i'm not expert on using this kind of softwares). If i decide to continue this project, it will probably happen next year since i've some projects on the bench right now
Hi Jordi, i'm not that scared of the dimensions, the main issue is: where do i put this thing once finished? my shelf is already occupied by my beloved 1/48 PBY-5A and 1/72 H8K2
Thanks Chris
Looks massive on floats, i saw the 1/144 kit but i'm not really into that scale
You are right, i think that it will be far easier to vac-form the floats but i don't have any tools to create those with wood and i don't have a machine to vac-form the floats;
i'll see on the web if there's someone who can do this kind of custom job for a relatively low price
Hi everyone, i discovered a couple of days ago that there was an amphibious version of the C-47 called XC-47C, there are some conversion for the 1/144 and 1/72 which are very rare (and not so accurate)
Since there aren't "official" conversion for the 1/48 scale i was wondering if someone in some way made the floats and the struts or have a file that can be laser-cutted or 3d printed
Please let me know, thanks

You are completely right Joachim, i positioned the decal in the wrong position, when i realized that the decal was already fixed on the surface and i couldn't move it anymore
Hi everyone, this is my latest build, it's missing some wirings but i was so tired after re-doing 5 times the camouflage that i left it like this. Hope that someone will like it as it is
Thanks Nikolay, at the end i've removed that effect. Apparently the aircraft during ww2 was washed with water every time before it was parked, so it wouldn't have been realistic to me
