Apologies for not following this thread, however what paint / decal issues you may have had are certainly not noticeable in these beautifully finished photos. That’s a real gem of a Dak to have in one’s collection and its so nice to see one in this scheme. Three cheers to @stevehnz as well for playing his part in this build. 
Cheers and well modelled.. Dave 

Thanks Dave and most certainly Steve was the key player behind this model.

Hi Tony, lovely job on the old girl, and a scheme I haven't seen before.  Once more you're giving me ideas .

As it happens the 1/48 version I built a few years ago (doesn't time fly!) was also of 3546 as it was in later life as a target tug.

Well done

Cheers

Thanks Gaz,.... well there you go,.... small world eh,.... I hadn`t realised the Dak went on to become a target tug. Is your model posted on Britmodeller?

Yup, this one.  NZ3546 from a few years ago.

I'm doing a bit of a catch up.....your Kiwi build count is just about the same as the number of aircraft we currently fly .  Love the Catalinas as well.

A C-47 in overall metal finish is indeed an impressive view!
