    I had started this Monogram 1/48 C-47 quite a number of years ago and stopped for some reason or another. With the D-Day build in the works I decided to dig it out and complete it. I will be OOB with the exception of Eagle Strike decals. Exactly which aircraft I will do I have not decided yet but it will be a D-Day C-47.

    Frank,

    Excellent. I've moved both your topics to the D-Day build Group, because I believe this is where they were intended to be. Cheers /m

    You sound like me: " There must be something wrong or I wouldn't have stopped. Now what is it?"
    Look forward to following along on this on.

    Well it is sort of coming along. Hopefully I will have it done by D Day. All my congratulations and respect to all veterans who served their country .

    How crazy are paratroopers? (I mean, they do jump voluntarily out of perfectly good airplanes that are not on fire and the wing hasn't fallen off) At least 5 guys who dropped on D-Day are going to participate in the D-Day drop from 10 C-47s (3 of them D-Day veterans) this June 6.

    Insane? Most definitely. I hope if I end up surviving to 90-93 that I have it together enough to be equally nutty.

    Can't wait to see it done. I don't know why you would've stopped. I thought the kit was a gem and went together very nicely. The only exception was a tab on the cockpit floor that wouldn't let the radio operator's station sit in the correct position. Abra cadabra, Xact-0 delete-0! Problem solved! I have to finish the props on mine and split and hang the cargo doors. What's the deal with posting for the group build? Do we wait until June 6th to post our entries?
