                        C-47 Skis
                        Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 10:18 AM
                        At the IPMS Nationals last month, some guy did a 1/144 scale diorama from the 1950's movie "The Thing" which featured a C-47 and the buried flying saucer. I decided to do my own, so the other day I got the Minicraft kit and after I started I realized "I've got to put skis on this thing!" Do any of you know where I can find any good drawings and pics of them? Thanks for your help!

                        Hi Rebel,

                        Located a site with several nice pictures of the Artic Skis on a turbine tri-motor conversion DC-3: or here:


                        Here's a great C-47 Designation and History site that you may find useful:

                        Hope this helps a little.........
