Robin-42 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Excellent finish, looks almost fresh out of the paint shop, waiting for the pilots to get their grubby fingers on it. Fuelers have already spilled fuel though! Edited February 20, 2022 by Robin-42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Thats a very fine looking C54 indeed. How did you create the very shiny metalic areas (behind the engine cowlings and the fuselage). Did you foil it? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Your C-54 has to be among the finest models I've seen on this site. Very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Mike Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Great build @Fuad I'm just reading a book on the Berlin Airlift, 'Bridge Across the Sky', which I can't put down. So nice to see an aircraft that had such an impact in keeping Berlin supplied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who really wanted peace and goodness. This is especially true now for those who doubt the Goodness of the Western world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATRICK FROM THE SANDS Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Great work, a very fine build! personally I will add a little bit of weathering, especially around the (oily!) engines and on the exhaust zone but this is just a matter of self-perception. Superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stever219 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) That is very smart; bulled-up for AOC's inspection? I believe it's not an altogether easy kit to build either. I really like your low-angle shot too, great stuff. Three questions if I may please: did you include the full interior and how many tons of nosewight did you have to use and where did you manage to cram it all in?

janneman36 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I really like the look of you C54 Fuad! One small note is that the rudders and ailerons of a DC4/C54 are fabric covered 😉 Revell did this wrong as well as they copied an aircraft that was restored with aluminium in place for durability and didn’t need to fly. Nevertheless a great job on the bare metal 👍 cheers, Jan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maginot Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 That's a fine model. How I miss the sight and sound of these rumbling low over my head on the landing approach, their distinctive nose-down attitude on full flap, as I sat near the threshold of the N-S runway at Essendon Airport, Melboune, Australia in the 1960s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 A mighty fine ship! I love Revell's kit and (unsurprisingly) your build would have to be one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three questions if I may please: did you include the full interior and how many tons of nosewight did you have to use and where did you manage to cram it all in? Yes, I applied a full set of etching for this model from BIG ED. The interior is fully worked out, but I don't like open cavities - that's why you can't see anything. The cargo (lead shot) is pushed into the bow, into the chassis niche area, behind the bulkhead in the cockpit. The plane is quite impressively heavy. I'm afraid that the front leg of the chassis will not break. You are right - the model is quite labor intensive. I pored over it for almost a month.

However, I do not have detailed drawings of this aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really excellent build, love the metal effect on the fuselage and wings. Might have to buy one for my collection, beautiful aircraft!
