ClementHi guys,
Here is my attempt at building Airfix's 2014 C-47 as a Colombian Air Force machine from the 80's.
This build brought many "firsts" for me.
First prop in 20+ years, first transport aircraft I've ever completed, first attempt at "chipping", first attempt at casting parts, first attempt at rigging.
All in all it was a fun build, I made my life harder than it had to be by spilling varnish, glue and thinner in the very late stages of the build.
It's a colorful addition to my display case and it dwarfes all the fighters and trainers I usually build.
Also, this particular aircrfaft is a 1944 built, ex RAF bird (KN605) which later on was rebuilt as a Basler AC-47T turboprob gunship. What a carreer!
SEA schemes using Mr Hobby Aqueous H311, H309, H303, H310. Various Mr Hobby Aqueous and Tamiya XF for the rest. Mettalics from the Ammo A-stand range.
GX112 for the gloss coat and GX114 for the final flat coat.
Decals were sourced from AMK's Kfir kit + generic numbers from USAFline USF72-021
