Alain,

 

Nicest DC-2 build I can recall seeing! I like your choice of scheme and colors- even better than the ones the Finns flew or that were used in the Spanish Civil war. Did you have some photos you used as reference? All I have been able to find of AX767 are color profiles and simulations. What I was wondering about is  if the prop blades were actually  bare metal and not matte black;  I would think the glint off of those blades could compromise the camouflage. Any thoughts? Not a big, fat hairy deal, but I have the MPM kit, and I'd like to make it as accurate as possible when it is in the queue.

I know it happened in China.

You mean this puppy? All you  need is  set of LH DC-3/C-47/Dakota wings! Bet it needed a bunch of aileron trim or asymmetric throttle to keep that long wing level! It would be a too-cool model, that's for sure!

Thank you very much. I find my inspiration somewhere in this blog.
