That would involve a very sharp deadline if it was for the 100th anniversary :). BTW Neil did you see that Tamiya are issuing a new tool 1/35 WW1 british tank shortly?

Hi Neil,

I am far away to finish on D-Day date, but I think if it is possible to give more time, because Allied Invasion started on June 6th, and invasion strip where remove until December 1944. Well, may be two months is ok, what do you think?

Thanks,

Guillermo

Neil, I get update e-mails from Wonderland models in Edinburgh, they are offering it for £35.

Just need to hang my cargo doors and add the exhaust and a couple of antennae and the C-47 is ready. I did get the latest issue of Air Classics (a D-Day special) and after seeing some of the photos of invasion stripe application I now think I was too careful in applying them. I should have just brushed them on! The crews were literally were applying them with rollers and brushes!

Josh,
Your right, they painted the stripes overnight and used any thing they had.If you have seen the TV series,"Band of Brothers" you can see on the C-47's they are boarding that the stripes were less than perfect. But we are doing illusions and I would think that if we did not mask them the stripes would look very messy and out of scale. I look forward to seeing your C-47. Mine is as done as it is going to get.
