Robert Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Here is the Airfix 1/72 C-47 when based at Sembach with the 66th TRW. It is not an easy build due to my mistakes (both the build and decals) and some tight tolerances but will have a go at another and avoid the pitfalls. The decals came from XVTonker on here, who produced some decals for USAFE C-47, Furball Decals for the stars and bars and a Scalemaster sheet for the USAF titles. The metal finish was done with Tamiya Aluminium spray can and various panels with Vallejo Metal Color. Robert 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggers Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Well smart Rob. I have one "in the throes" meself,TBH,I've got a bit of a filling job on it's wing roots . I also think the engines are a bit naff,but to be fair,you can't see a lot once they're cowled up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Lovely job, I was wondering when a build with VXTonker's decals would appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostbase Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Good to see a Cold War era C-47 and even better in NMF. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vh-bob Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Well done, great model of an iconic aircraft. The Airfix kit is way too dear in this country to form the basis of a DC-3 collection so it's the Italaeri one for me. Love the post war scheme and she certainly looks the part.

ForestFan Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Looks very nice, I built this kit earlier this year and rather enjoyed it. If these decals had been around at the time I would've bought a set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
