Here are a few pics of my latest completed build. 1/72 ESCI C-47 done up in D-Day markings. Was built for a group build at ARC but a in process is over at agape.

Nice build and fun... Built OOB except for True Details wheels/tires. This is my 8th completed build sence getting back into the hobby last fall.













Enjoy and God Bless,

Ken

I am going to have to add that kit to the "to-do" list.

Well done!

I can't get over all those panel lines, are they OOB or did you scribe them? I've never seen that before.

Nicely detailed.

Nice work. I too like the panel lines

Thank you for the compliments!

The panel lines were the recessed kit lines. I did re-scribe the places on the seams where they wiere filled in or sanded away. After the kit was decaled a coat of clear gloss was applied. I airbrush the Future brand liquid floor wax for this. I then use the ProModeller brand washes to bring out the panel lines. I then add a final cloat of clear flat or clear semi-gloss. I have found the ProModeller products very easy to use and just about as idiot proof as you can get.

Oh how I love panel lines and a carefully applied wash. Good job sir and i've not been in a mood for modelling for weeks now but seeing your lovely bird has inspired me to get off my behind and do something so thanks for that ;D

Woohoo! Glad I could be of help. Now go build something.

That is awesome! Very nice!

Thanks you sir. The 65th anivisary of D-Day is only a few days away. I wanted to get this one done before that.

Thanks Chas, The panel lines are all stock from the ESCI kit, all I did was rescribe them where filling sanding removed.

God Bless,
