BlrwestSiR Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 You're beating it into submission. Glad those pics helped. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Thank you for the support gentlemen. So here’s the deal. Every c-47 is different. I’m trying to replicate the layout of various vents and scoops based on available pictures. Trumpeter didn't help by moulding the seventh window on the left side, just beside the cargo doors. That was a feature of DC-3. then I noticed that the de-icing booth on the leading edge has beautifully shallow riveting pattern all over. You know, the one that is so hard to fill, but so dully prominent, to be annoyingly visible even under a thick layer of primer. Anyway, I’m learning a lot, adding and correcting as I go, creating a hedgehog that is becoming difficult to touch without eliminating the details picture time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Looking mighty fine Martin, I wonder if anyone will ever do a new moulding of DC3 / C47…………ICM would be my choice as they have a track record in 48th twins albeit all Axis…….. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Martin, Totally forgot about this one. Glad to see the work continuing. Reminds me that I have a fair amount of 1/48 twins to start. Too many new large scale kits coming out... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
