  1. Thank you both! That's what got me too. The idea of a camouflage paint job with discrete roundels and serials contrasted by the bright rudder was just too good to pass.
  2. All around great work, that camouflage is quite the eye-catcher!
  3. Fantastic work, this could easily pass for 1/48 or larger.
  4. Nicely done! Going straight for a short-run multimedia kit and a metallic finish after a 30 year old break was ambitious and yet, you pulled it off.
  5. You should! Well done and welcome back to the "one true scale"
  6. Nicely done especially given the kit's vintage. Also, for a build which is 18 years old, it's held up very well. No yellowing, no broken bits.
  7. Thank you I got it easy, the kit's not perfect but it's nowhere near as hard as the vacformed / Mach 2 / 50 year old kits that you normally build!
  8. Thanks for the kind words, highly appreciated. Here are a couple of pictures of the real deal which inspired me. I didn't want to go as hard on the chipping as the real A/C. That being said, even on less weathered Colombian C-47's, it seems that the cargo doors often took a beating. Source: Both Warpaint 133 (review link here) and Cercy's Douglas DC-3/C-34 in latin american military service have this picture Source: I honestly don't remember, I think I got it from a spanish speaking facebook group.
  9. Nice work! It trully is! I'm onboard with the fuselage style but the wings kinda look like something a child would draw.
  10. Hat's off to you on that decals disaster recovery, it looks fantastic, just like the rest of your build! You definetly deserve a glass of liquor.
  11. Hello guys and gals, Here is my attempt at building Airfix's 2014 C-47 as a Colombian Air Force machine from the 80's. This build brought many "firsts" for me. First prop in 20+ years, first transport aircraft I've ever completed, first attempt at "chipping", first attempt at casting parts, first attempt at rigging. All in all it was a fun build, I made my life harder than it had to be by spilling varnish, glue and thinner in the very late stages of the build. It's a colorful addition to my display case and it dwarfes all the fighters and trainers I usually build. Here is the project inventory for those interested Airfix A08014 kit Quickboost QB 72 462 Exhausts and QB 72 490 Engines Plusmodel AL7045 wheels Eduard CX401 masks Some scratchbuild parts (anti collision light, various antennas etc. Mr Surfacer 1500 grey primer SEA schemes using Mr Hobby Aqueous H311, H309, H303, H310. Various Mr Hobby Aqueous and Tamiya XF for the rest. Mettalics from the Ammo A-stand range. GX112 for the gloss coat and GX114 for the final flat coat. Decals were sourced from AMK's Kfir kit + generic numbers from USAFline USF72-021 This particular aircrfaft is a 1944 built, ex RAF bird (KN605) which later on was rebuilt as a Basler AC-47T turboprob gunship. What a carreer! Thank you for reading this far, have a wonderful evening!
  12. Nice work, epecially since the mold is of 1967 vintage!
