Drew- Have the kit and not using the ladder, yours for nothing, PM me your mailing addy and I'll send it on out to you, might take a couple of days.
Guys,The C-47 boarding ladder I was talking about -- and want -- is included in Monogram's 1/48th scale AC-47D Gunship ("Spooky/"Puff The Magic Dragon") kit.If anyone's willing to part with this...part...I'd be willing to part with $5 for one.Thanks.
richs26 (and stikpusher),
Correct-- that's the (military) boarding ladder I was talking about.
Yes, I know the C-47 boarding ladder that he was asking about. I am pretty familiar with the aircraft.

No, I just looked up the DC-3 instructions online and it has the boarding ladder built into the passenger door.
You just described the ladder that is in the AC-47 kit from Monogram.
stikpusher,
Do you know if the Monogram DC-3's boarding ladder was the military version (short, three-step, did not reach the ground, side plates holed for weight reduction) or a different, civilian version?
I think only the DC-3 release of the kit may have come with a boarding ladder, not the C-47 version.
Curt: This is beyond my (non-existant) scratch-building skills, and,
MKelley: As far as I'm aware, the Monogram C-47 never had an accurate boarding ladder as a kit part.
It would be the kit part.
I have two of these kits in stash for a future build. Why not just scratch build a boarding ladder???

Thanks, MKelley...who made it, if you don't mind my asking?
Let me look through my extra parts I may have one.
Can anyone tell me if an (accurate) after-market boarding ladder for the Monogram 1/48th scale C-47 was ever made, either in brass photo-etch or resin? And if so, who made it?That was (is) the only part missing from that kit -- all those little paratroopers standing around, with no ladder to board the plane with!
