1/72 C-46 "salvage build"

[JohnB]

I'm calling this a salvage build because I've had two partially built William's Bros. 1/72 C-46's in my closet for ages. I plan to make one model by salvaging parts from both so I hope to be able to get one fairly decent model built. I have some Caracal decals ordered so should be able to find a subject on there that is satisfactory. Stay tuned sports fans and athletic supporters!

After resuming work on this kit I've AGAIN decided to put it on the SOD. At least for a while until I feel like having a high cuss factor build. LOL NOW I remember why I put it away in the first place. Not only the very poor fit but also the lack of details and accuracy. If I go on and finish it it just wouldn't be a really satisfactory model. Just too many uh oh's to contend with. I'm not saying it's never going to get built, just not any time soon. 🤪 (I MIGHT do a little on it from time to time but not as a full time build.)

I've been doing a little work on this model from time to time and now that the Whirlwind is completed I decided to go on and finish it. Here it is as of last night 7-21-23.
