stevej60 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Hi folk's,Second build goes against everything I should avoid namely Silver and Gloss white finishes! I love Italian roundel's on an aircraft and the scheme should look great if I ever get it finished.Same boxing as my other entry here's the proposed scheme.

modelling minion Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Great choice Steve, a classic and very smart scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Lovely choice! Mind you, just needs a bit of dayglo to round off the "don't-go'there" list of paint finishes! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Nice choice, interesting to see an Italian C-47 without that strange lamp unit on the nose as seen here, or for that matter, as Spad says, liberal amounts of dayglo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hi folk's,a start made on the two build's interior assembled, this build will have the cargo door's closed as you can see they are a good fit no filler needed a base coat of interior green applied. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hi folk's,same script as the other build gotten way too ahead so I'll give it a rest for a couple of week's and finish a couple of camera project's. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo64 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 caution: I do not think that the aircraft you are reproducing, of the 70th Wing, had the big left hatch, rather the normal access door ...... I suggest you consult the photos of the real aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Vincenzo,I think you are correct the few photos of Italian c-47's show no cargo door only artwork on a couple of site's show aircraft with the cargo door's,I'll fill it in and re-scribe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Some do have the cargo door. Found this when I built mine for Radial Engines Rock GB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this when I built mine for Radial Engines Rock GB Thank's John,would you believe I was just about to post an update,filled and sanded then rescribed the area today,I'm going to paint the fuselage and wing's before assembly on this one,I ditched the interior aft of the cockpit so I can get the windows in from the inside had a dry run should be OK. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Just watch the wing joint, the centre flap attachment is a bit vague. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi folk's had to do a fair bit of sanding especially on the fuselage top surface with that white finish in mind,now done,rescribed and as you can see nicely primed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi folk's this one going well,sprayed the lower fuselage and fitted wing's after adding the glazing.Now masked up for primer then silver on the wing's etc. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Janneman,Tamiya rattle can silver over their gray primer,it spray's well and gives a good polished look but can be toned down easily for a worn finish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi Folk's this one's moving again after removing the masking waiting for the inevitable disaster I was pleased to see all was well with the silver finish,so masked the nose for painting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Hi folk's,the build of the two I thought would be the most trouble seem's to be running the smoothest,the white of the decal's have no density thankfully with two build's of the kit I have been able to double up on the roundel's the fuselage roundel even has a third white disc included,just busy spraying the tailplanes outside before work.Again I've used the wrong intake's but with the silver finish I'm not going to risk cutting them off so they will stay.Wheel's fitted as you can see.

Dansk Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Looks awesome Steve! great idea ditching the interior aft of the cockpit to get at the windows from the inside 💡 Edited March 14, 2019 by Dansk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
