Juno Dakota: 1/48th Monogram C-47 Skytrain

This old 1/48th Monogram C-47 Skytrain kit was originally released in 1978. The moulds are now in Revell's possession and still available on occasion. By the standards of the day, Monogram's 1/48th C-47 kit was well detailed and included [...]

Back from the forgotten storage box: Monogram 1/48 Douglas C-47A Skytrain

The C-47 is the military development of the Douglas DC-3, the civil airliner that has been called “The Plane That Changed The World.” That is not hyperbole. The DC-3 was unlike any airplane that came before it. It gave airlines [...]

ITALERI DOUGLAS C-47 SKYTRAIN

USAF C-47 Skytrain

This is a 1/72 MPC C-47... although the box describes it as a DC-3. This is originally an Airfix release kit and had a “Made in England” slip of paper in the bag with the parts . The fit of the parts was generally good, and there was [...]

1/48 Trumpeter C-47 conversion to the Tropical Tilly R4D-5 from the 1951 movie “The Thing from another world”.

This build was a little different. I have always been a fan of the 1950’s and 1960’s horror and sci-fi movies. One of my favorites is the Howard Hawks 1951 movie “The Thing From Another World”. The movie is set in the arctic at an [...]
