batcode Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 just finished my latest build being the old italeri 1:72 Ac-47... build was pretty much straight forward though the kit is showing its age , only modifications were I used the minigun barrels from quickboost, and I replaced the kit whip antenna with a home made one and added the other two as the kit instructions only illustrate one where most pics I saw they had 3.... for the paint I used the Ak Vietnam paint set which went down great, for the patches on the cam I used the same shade but from valejeo and mr hobby, strange how the shade differs but think works great. I then tried to add a flow look by using a watercolour pencil, but didn't want do to much being first time. I also put some staining be the rear guns as saw many photos where there was a build up of carbon staining, just adds that bit more interest I thought!!!! hope you like I feel got the worn look I was after.. my c-47 family......so far!!!!!!! 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booty003 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That looks really good - a nice worn effect to the paintwork. I would remove the star and bar from the starboard wing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batcode Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 That looks really good - a nice worn effect to the paintwork. I would remove the star and bar from the starboard wing though. I did think that as well but a few early ones seemed be like that, as with the grey underside which later changed to black... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer53 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Beautiful job on the model and finish. I had the pleasure of seeing an AC-47 a couple of years ago. Such an interesting aircraft and a colorful history to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Superb Dakota, I really like the final finish of the paint. I have this kit in the stash myself, WWII version. It's also the one that's been in the stash the longest, I really should get around to building it, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
