Extra part with my United DC-6


Recommended Posts

I bought a Minicraft DC-6 in 1/144, the United Airlines mainliner with the white & dark blue livery and the "Hawaii" box art. It appears that somebody at the factory put the Conair firebomber parts in the box instead, which is no big deal, because the only difference between the United kit & the Conair kit is the belly tank.

So...rather than throw this belly tank in the spares box, I'm thinking I'll use it with another of my DC-6 kits. Anyone have any advice or ideas, or happen to have the Conair or other firebomber decals on hand?

Paint.

Been trying masking more lately and with Tamiya tape carefully applied (mine is old so likes to slide off) for good straight lines you could try one of the schemes with simple color lines and a tanker-number without curves (1, 4, 7).

Seeing paint instead of decals really looks good!

Good advice. Been thinking along those lines.
