Thomas BischoffThat's a nice one 👍
The interior is a gem 👍 👍
Only one question: R4D is the Navy designation - why is it showing "Airforce" as owner?
Spanjaardexcellent job. lovely interior and the base is really good. only thing i would add is a light panel wash to make all those rivets pop (Florymodels can be added and removed if result is not good)
Album info
This next build is going to be 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 outpost that ends up fighting an alien invasion. With that in mind, I will be using the Trumpeter 1/48 C-47 and converting it to a R4D-5 for arctic service. The scheme will be the “Tropical Tilly” used in the movie. For the conversion I will be using Lone Star Models (LSM) arctic C-47 conversion set. The LSM conversion kit includes numerous resin parts for the ski’s, cowls, exhaust, nose, and a set of decals for the Tropical Tilly and another R4D called the Que Sera Sera. For research I took some screen captures from the movie and found some color production stills in an old “Famous Monsters of Filmland” magazine. Below are the photos of the current status of the build. You can read all the details and see many more photos in my build log at davidsscalemodels.co..4d-5-tropical-tilly/
