maverick_62 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Dakota, the old ESCI kit (but i found out about it, only after the building were start began ;)) repack by Italeri kit No 1338. The main and the great feature of this kit it's the quite interest decal sheet. Some extras was used during the process: - Eduard PE for original Italeri. In their application to this kit, all about the cabin tools are ok, but for the flaps instalation some manipulation are require ; - QuickBoost engine, are also designed for the original Italeri, and in this case some troubles during install was found as well; All the other from the box,... almost. Thanks for looking. Edited September 1, 2021 by maverick_62 Reload photos 51 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janneman36 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Love it 😎 you made the Esci look good! The pitfall with those detailsets are that when they came available Italeri never used the Esci mold before.. So when you are going to buy aftermarkets set they need to be for the Esci wich aren’t much around🤨 The same applies for the old Airfix ( read italeri mold) and the new Airfix one, for someone not familiar with the differences they easily buy the wrong sets..like in your case.... But as I wrote you made it look good even with these problems👍👍👍 cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Very nice indeed,...... still a lovely model although I think it has been superseded in top spot by the Airfix C-47/Dakota kit,...... your wonderful paint job and decal option brings out the very best in this old classic, Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right Tony. The Airfix kit is better, but it's also require a much work to bring it out as interest model. One of the main problem for all kits (Airfix kit not the exception IMHO) of this model, it's the cockpit windshields shape and size. And i can't say that i'm fully satisfied how i was fixed it on this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
