Way to go Avus !!!!. Very nice job on your build. Sharp and very clean and looks the business. I have the same model and yours is an excellent example. Nice work.
I finished my C-47 a few months ago and have been playing around with the figures and a Dio base for it. The base is almost finished and I will post photos of it when finished. Until then I am going to post these photos of the plane, I made some changes since these. I want to thank GulfstreamV for this kit, it's a gem of the Monogram stable and an great kit with a lot of possibilities. Kinda like their B-17's. I felt I needed to post it now as the 08 build deadline is tomorrow and want to have this in the bag. I really enjoyed this GB and all the fun that came with it and looking forward to this years. Thanks to Jon for hosting this great idea that really shows what the modelling community is all about. God bless ya Jon.
This build was OOB and it went together well except for the wing to fuselage joint which looked like the grand canyon. Any building flaws were all of my own making, I pushed the windscreen in too far and it melted a little( too much glue ). The big problem was the decals that shattered into hundreds of pieces when they hit the water. I fought with them to get some to look ok but lost most of them. I made the yellow decals myself to represent a D-Day bird as the kit decals were grey. I painted the model with MM enamels and the invasion stripes are also painted. The wings were simple but the fuselage was a test of skills and patients. n the end it was worth the headache. Hope you guy;s enjoy this one and any comments and critizesm welcome.
Hope to see you guy's in this next year.
