Kingoalie Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hi Everyone, I just finished my 1/144th Minicraft C-54. This kit falls under the "Good from far, far from good" category. I started this kit back in the fall of 2007. At that point, it was all built, puttied, and painted. However, I wasn't happy with the paint result. So, it got shelved for five years. About a month ago, I decided it was time to finish it. I wasn't too excited about the Berlin Airlift markings, so I got a hold of the MATS decals from the newest boxing. Overall, not a show stopper, but I'm glad to have finally finished it. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowTRobot Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Looks great! My 9 yr. old son read a book about the "Candy Bomber" earlier this year, and ever since he's been wanting a model of a C-54. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOLMES Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 John, . . That is a VERY STLISH. GORGEOUS build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks guys. I have to say that there was a time where I avoided a kit because of the NMF paint scheme. Now, I look at my display case and realize that I have a lot of NMF aircraft; time to build something camouflaged! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
