Must be C47 night, your views

Postby Lucas1860 » Fri Apr 08, 2011 7:15 pm

I got this from modelzone, £14.99, half price.

Now do I do it as it is on the box, or do I do a military job on it, your views please.

Thanks,

Jim

Right I've sent off for a new set of decals, both American and British, will decide on the scheme when I get them. I must admit the military option does stand out for me.

Every night should be a c-47 night ;) \:D/ \:D/

I almost bought that kit from Coventry but don't have room for it :((

Now if it was me, I'd be doing the civie scheme as I have 3 Daks (well technically one's a AC-47) all in mil markings, but that's just me ;) :D

Awful lot of silver paint required, if you do it as per box ;)


Go Military, paint's cheaper ;)
