Airfix 1/72 C47 Skytrain

Post by Kobus »

Hi all,

I decided to build this as it was a gift. It is finished in my own paintscheme and is not historically accurate, but I had fun.

Nice work, Korbus. I love the DC-3/C-47. One of the greatest ever built.

Wonderful work! I've got that kit in my stash as well.

Very nicely done! It may not be historically accurate, but the main point of this hobby is to enjoy yourself. And it sure looks like you did just that!
