hey everybody! i need your help, did a search but didn't see anything, i'm looking for a model of the C47, most of what i find is a snap together deal! looking for something a little better! i haven't put a model together for a long time, but i would like to get into it again! any help is greatly appreciated! thanks!!!
Try Historic Aviation. They have books, art, models and videos on all types of aircraft. www.HistoricAviation.com
here's a 1/72 scale from Italeri (looks to be 'Out of Stock' for the time being) or a 1/144 scale from Minicraft (thats getting pretty tiny , for my taste!) I've been looking for a 1/48 scale (which is my preferred scale) C-47 I've also checked on a DC-3 - no joy there, either. You might check eBay - Monogram used to make a -48 scale C-47 with a stick of Paratroopers - I used to see them occasionally, but they usually went pretty dear. (...'buncha damn idiots on eBay, anyway ... I avoid that place like the plague anymore.) Good luck with your hunt ... let me know if you find anything. -whatever -Lou
Here are a couple that just ended: 1/48 Monogram C-47 - $40+/- Monogram C-47 Skytrain - 41/48 Scale - $43+/- and here are a couple comin' up OOP Monogram 1/48 C-47 Skytrain 'Buzz Buggy' Mint Sealed or Monogram C-47 Skytrain 1/48 Scale Factory Sealed How bad do you want one? -whatever -Lou
well it's my favorite plane, but i was hoping to get one i could build and then display, i'm not sure i want to spend 40 bucks on a mint example and then rip it open, you know!
I would guess you guys wouldn't even want to know what is lurking around in various nooks and crannies of my house in the way of models........
These are just kits I looked around for a bit: (bedroom closet): 1/72 Supermodel Cant Z1007 Alcione, 1/32nd Hasegawa Me 163B Komet, 1/35th Tamiya Churchill Crocodile, 1/35th ESCI MBT T74, 1/32nd Revell FW 190D (office): (all 1/35th) Italeri: 2 Opel Blitz truck kits, 1 Elefant, 1 Marder III DML: Is IIm, IS 152 Airmodel: T60A AER: T-20 Komsomolets tractors, 4 BA 60 armored cars Tamiya: Saladin armored car, Jadgpanther, Su 85, M13/40, 2 6pdr AT guns w/ crew A Superior Models lead figure kit #196 (15mm) Encore models 1/72nd Yak 9 Probably 20 or 30 various 1/72nd airplane kits half done...most from small run / rare companies. For example I found a Myrsky II Finnish fighter in a drawer along with a P-43A, a McDonnell FD-1, a Spitfire XIX, FM 2, La 5, Yak 9, Spitfire XIV LF, P 36A, Defiant, a Mosquito buried under other stuff, a Fw 187 vacuform kit, an MB 5, I16, a CR 32, well anyway a bunch of stuff.... I have a number of those old Revell 1/32nd airplanes somewhere....remember seeing a Typhoon kit recently.....the garage? Maybe one of the crates? yea, probably should put some pictures up.
hey guys ive been lookng for a model C-47 for ages but cant find one big enough i was want something with at least around 3 to 4 foot wing span, im willing to spend at least a couple of hundred i just cant find one anywhere any suggestions?? thanks harley
At those sizes you are probably better going for a kit intended for remote control flying rather than trying to find anything intended specifically for static display. NB I know It is a Civilian DC-3, it is just to show the sort of stuff available in RC http://rcpilot-videos.magnify.net/video/Short-Kit-RC-Pilot-Douglas-DC http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=111901 http://www.flyingscalemodels.com/fs-monthly.htm Best and Warm Regards Adrian Wainer
