SC-54/C-118/DC-6
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, January 15, 2004 2:56 AM
Another question,
I'm planning on doing a USAF rescue version of the C-54 (SC-54). My question is what would be the best model to start with and what would I have to do to make it a C-54.
My choices are the 1/72 Heller DC-6 Supercloud (I think that's what it's called) or the 1/72 Heller C-118.
So please help me out here,
Thanks,
Salbando

Salbando,
You've got a major problem. The C-54 and C-118 are two completely different
aircraft. They do bear some resemblence but the C-118 is a much larger aircraft
with differently shaped verticle stab/rudder, horiz stab/elevator, different wings,
engine nacelles, props, landing gear, wheels/tires, and etc.
I don't know of any C-54 kits myself but, if any are out there the folks on this forum
will know about it. Hang in there...An SC-54 is a very worthwhile project.
Ray
