Beechcraft JRB-4 US Navy, 1/72 Hobbycraft.
This is my take on a Navy transport version of the Beech 18. A simple kit from Hobbycraft, the last of my Dad's old stash. spare stars and bars, the rest home made decals.

Thanks guys, along with some SNJ's, the aviation high school that I went to had a couple of old JRB's the students could misuse and abuse in learning mechanic skills.
