D-Day C-47

1/100 Entex kit (ex Nitto), finished OOB with Xtracrylix paints and varnishes.

 

The subject of the model is currently on display at the Airborne Museum in Saint-Mere-Eglise and represents 'The Argonia', which was the lead plane of the 439th Transport Group.

R4D-5 / LC-47H - Dakota on Ice

1&72 ESCI Kit, some decals from the spares box, some self-printed

 

Build thread here.

 

One of the skis popped off during the photoshoot, that's why it is somewhat misaligned in a few shots. It's fixed and drying now.

Hi all

Here is my 1/72 Airfix C-47 in berlin airlift guise. 

 

It is inspired by the image in the top left of the first shot and i have tried to recreate that aircraft.

 

It sports Aires resin wheels, Eduard PE cockpit, Scratched wheel bays and customised interior,

and a plethora of extras to make the truck, trailer, boxes and loading crew.

The decals are illiad.

 

I had so much fun making this and a lot of heartache too.

I learnt that hobbyboss kits are just not for me they are just way too fanciful; so after getting nearly half way through the build i completely started again with a better airfix kit.

 

I also tried chipping paint, weathering powders, and experimented a lot with airbrushing and learnt a bunch about the Berlin airlift itself.

 

A lot of the work can’t be seen in the final few shots but the detailed build thread is here warts and all.

Thanks to everyone for good vibes, encouragement and advice throughout its been really nice! Particularly Mr DC3 Jan “the man” @janneman36

 

I hope you like the final result. Hurrah it’s done!
