Dutch Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) NH ANG VC-47A 43-15572 in 1:72 please! [ Are you beginning to see a pattern here? ] Edited November 27, 2018 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 FWIW, Avalon did 1/72 and 1/144 sheets that included ChardiE. There are apparently some diecast incarnations. But, even though I love those markings and used the 1/144 decals in a build, I've never seen primary evidence of it. Rocketeer did 1/144 decals for Camel Caravan to Berlin; AFAIK, the company's gone. Franklin Mint did a 1/48 diecast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 A Dakota is a real classic airplane! I like it! Actually building on in 1/48 Monogram. But I prefer postwar Daks and something else than olive drab. So now it will be an indonesian one. You will get my attention when you think about non-USAF Dakotas in 1/48. 1/72 is simply too small for me 😉 But after releasing a 72 sheet, think about a 48 sheet. Revell released the AC-47 lately and it is a good base for a transporter, too. Especially they added a new sprue (ofc. with the gunship add-ons) AND the late style props!! No need to butcher a Monogram B-17 for props anymore, hehe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Here is a nice NON- US one for your next sheet that I recently did, RCAF target tug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Wow nice Dak Phantom. I had forgotten about that scheme and now it looks like I have to get yet another Monogram C-47. I have four in the stash adn all earmarked for schemes already. Although having said that maybe I can change my Dak with the 104 nose to this one. By the way I am guessing you pieced together the markings? What did you use to do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlite Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 What about a Nasa C-47H from the 60s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quark51 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I know Revell Germany did a nice pair of 1/48 Berlin airlift C-47 a few years ago with markings for a US and a British C-47, kit # 04697 and kit # 04518 which has markings for two US planes and one British plane.

dnl42 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Minicraft did FAA's N34 in 1/144, but they messed up details (e.g., missing FAA logo) and color (red instead of orange) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I have some info on that tug in my reference. I think I can cobble together those markings from my stash of Canadian decals. By any chance can I get a shot of the bottom and starboard side? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Thanks so much Phantom. I may try this in 1/72nd using the new Airfix kit as it may be a bti cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 I will be releasing a post-war C-47 sheet in 1/72 and 1/48 scale in June/July timeframe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 It's really nice - any ideas on what the badges on tail are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Here is another in the same series: 2nd C-47 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 21st was assigned to the 374th Troop Carrier Group, and the badge on the bottom resembles the badge currently used by the 374th Operations Group, though the blue/yellow colors are reversed. The uppermost badge appears to be that of the US Far East Air Forces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I changed the name of the thread to CD72122 - 1/72 C-47 Dakota. I will try to release this sheet in the first half of the year. Thanks for the suggestions, and please keep them coming. Edited January 12, 2021 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
