1/144 (Roden) Douglas C-47 Skytrain, "Dakota Squadron" 1981.

I added details in the self-building wheelspaces, motors, antenas and more.
Painted with HATAKA orange laquer.
I even took fresh one to the competition on Saturday.

  1. I don’t know what competition you’re referring to, but Dakotas are cool, including this one.

  2. Very nice! Great paintwork.

  3. Wow - that one really punches bigger than her weight! Well done!

  4. Excellent result and a well deserved price, Samo @politicni-komisar
    This Skytrain is beautifully build, especially in this scale.
    Well done.

  5. Amazing result, Samo!

  6. Excellent work and on a such a diminutive scale. I thought at it was a larger scale.

  7. Another good result at the 28 national championships of SLOVENIA. Second place (silver) in category L-8 military aircraft on a scale of 1/144.

  8. This is a wonderful model of one of my most favorite airplanes. It is so incredibly detailed and it small enough to hold in your hand. I take my hat off and salute you for your achievement. You have inspired me to work harder to make my own models better.

    At this scale, I make every now and then a project for the sake of competitions.
