Thanks dutch. Anyone looking for a great trader Dutch is the man!

i just picked a light blue color. I don't know if there is a right answer. They probably faded and got stained pretty bad. Probably no two the same. Probably the same with the chocks. I did mine yellow and just stained them really bad.

Thanks Bill- Just remember as you can see from my build, depending on where in the sequence you make the gear, the gear doors hide a good chunk of it.

I did a Growler with the landing gear mid-retraction, it's not 100% accurate, but to me it looks the part.

Does this one help?

You did them great justice, need to build one of these too! How are the decals?

I would be interested in doing another C-47. Here is mine from a few years ago. Unfortunately this model did not survive a move recently.

Great work Collin, just don't get a case of the Mondays.

Make sure you use the piece for the nose for the cannon, the G does not have a gun, while the F does.

My two cents: I went to Oceana this year too. To me the Military airshows are not geared towards the "aviation fan" anymore. They are geared towards the everyday person. The only reason I went to the show was to see the Snow Birds. I did enjoy the military demos, but all the other stuff I've seen before. I mean honestly, how many times do I have to watch that jet truck go up and down the runway.... Also, why do I want to wait 2 hour in traffic to get in and 2 hours to get out, then have to take out a small loan for sub par food that only makes you have to use the dirty port-o-johns? I know it has its own issues, but to me Oshkosh will always be the mecca for airshows (at least here in the states). Like a lot of things in life, The Simpsons said it best: "airshow?... What kind of country-fried rube is still impressed by that?"

Technically the B is VTOL but operationally is considered STOVL - Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing like the Harrier

YAY a Pax Bird! Great work Collin!

Asked some friends who used to work on F-35 ITF: No they can't. Only folks that can do that is engineers for testing on the ground. The inner doors are used as LIDS if necessary.

Not to change subjects, but have you or would you consider doing Blue Angel Pilots? There are no good ones out there that I am aware of that are accurate. Whether they are in the cockpit or maybe signing autographs it would be awesome!
