Hello guys As you probably already saw, i'm building the Trumpeter C-47, do you have any photo of the crew area to share please? i want to put something more there, the pics i found show's different aircrafts, and i dont know what are the correct photos for the time (D-Day)... so if you could share come pictures i will be grateful, and does anyone knows if there is any after market available for this kit? Thank you in advance Best regards Vitor Costa P.S. does anyone knows the gunze color for the interior? :-)

Hello guys, Thank you for you nice words... this one is going to be a challenge! Lets see what i can get from this one! Probably the guys from Trumpeter are going to get mad with me, but the kit dont worth the price! In a dry fit the gaps are some... and big! the interior is very poor (the cockpit area its not so bad) some sink marks... my kit comes to me from a trade... because i can not afford to "waist" so much money on plastic, but if i had buy this one... right now i was calling me all the bad names i now! I my words are so critic due to the asked money for the kit, other wise... if the

Hello guys, I was boring with so many rivets that i have made in the F-15 but with the pytty/sandig process some of them disapear, and i should do them again, so i decided to take a break an go to a "new" thing, so i started the C-47 from trumpeter, its a good kit with some major errors in the fuselage (it looks that Trumpeter will make other versions... ?) that you can see in the 3 first pictures, the fit its not so good as i expect, but at least there is lot of good details in the interior, so lets see what i can do to make it better. I hope you like it, all comments are welcome, you can s

Hello Guys. Thank you for your nice words... i'm a kind of disappointed with this kit, (i already build the E version about 10-12 years ago, but at that time i didn't care with some errors like i do today). The Revell kit its better than the Hasegawa one!. After the warning where smithery talks about the color of the cockpit, i went to more search on the net and finally i found some good reference pics from japanese F-15, and he was right, so i decided to paint it again. Here are the pictures. You can see the all thing here: http://forum.modelismo-na.net/viewtopic.ph...1&a

Hi guys! Thank you for your kind words, and after two or tree "warnings" concerning the color of the avionics bay, i decided to paint it with white, instead of the blue one. By the way, does any one know anything about this aircraft! i would like to do it, but the truth is that i never saw it... so i dont know if its "real" or not. If anyone have some pic to share i would be very apreciated. I would like to build this one... but i must see it to believe. Thank you in advance Best regards Vitor Costa

Hello guys, You and your nice words are one of the reasons to keep me going with this one, because like i told you before this is being a hard kit to finish, first was the alclad that comes out with the Tamiya tape, i repaint the kit... because i remove all the paint the putty come out to, thats makes me doing the putty work all again... then when the kit was painted and with some decals i let it fell from the workbench (its very big)... and one of the unions got opened... i didnt give up and tryed some how to fixe it, but as you are going to see is not a easy task right now... i'm going to f
