Airfix 1/72 C-47 Skytrain (Dakota) - Paradropping on DDay

Question - jump lines, they seem to extend to just behind the leading edge of horizontal stabiliser fins - would you agree?

Cheers
Steve

I would suggest they went as far as the leading edge but not past it for obvious reasons.

Really looking forward to the finished item mate.

Just working on the canvas tails - your help has been immense through PMs

Hi all,

Well I have been cracking on with this, and am almost over the finish line. Everything is done, except the static jump lines which need trimming and canvas tails added plus props to be mounted, then the work on the dio.

So since the last update I have bought all the smaller pieces together - aerials, pitot tubes etc. Paratrops are in final positions, and jump lines added.

Quite pleased with where I am and took the opportunity to take some shots in the beautiful winter light today - as I have to head back to work for a few weeks, so don't know when I will finish. But rest assured, I will!









Any comments is appreciated ! I am aware that US C-47s apparently didn't all have the anti flash black, but it's on now.

Cheers

Steve
