Main gear on. All of the aerials and other sticky out bits painted ready to fit after the final varnish coats and weathering.

That C47 looks really smart Rick. Looks a good finish and the decals show no sign of silvering - great job.


Doesn't look like it will be long before this bird will be ready for display (ready to take it's Paras to Arnhem!)


Cheers

This is looking Really good Rick.

Some weathering and aerial fitting done as well as the landing gear and wheels. This hasn't come together that well really with poor cleanliness in the varnishing phase causing specks of dust to settle that look awful. There is also some silvering on the serial number which I am well monked off about as I used setting solutions as instructed. If you think this is a dogs breakfast the other Dakota has really gone tits up, I've lost a landing gear drag brace and the d-day stripes are just awful.

This is looking awesome Rick I really like the finish on the olive drab. I have the italeri kit which I plan to do for my BBMF, I had built the Airfix kit but lost the landing light ( wing glass ) covers. I tried clear plastic but never worked so I kept for spares.


Will keep an eye on the finished product.


Very nice
