WIP Wednesday - D-Day Anniversary build C47 Skytrain

 D-Day Anniversary C47 Skytrains

Decided to get my finger out and do a build of two C-47 Skytrains for DDay anniversary build. 

I have quite a few in the stash to build so I pulled out these two Italeri 1/72 kits and build them this week. Both will be numbered for the 101st drop around Saint Mere Eglise based on real aircraft. 

Cheers

Mad March Wip II

I purchased these last year in preparation to add artillery support to my American Armour, I have also pitched some 155mm towed but need tractors for them to complete the battery. 

These are fast build Italeri, I think I had them built in around 3 hours. Nice little fast build kits although the tracks leave a little to be desired. I will add American crews from Alder or AB after I have painted them. 

Cheers

 Jasta 18 Rabens Ravens 

A project that has the aircraft built in some cases for 7 years or more, I finally decided to get this unit done in a mad rush of three days for the analogue painting challenge. Apart for airbrush undercoat white, all hand painted, the transfers are from Pheon Models range. the aircraft are 1/72 a mix of Airfix, Roden and Italeri I think......the pilots are a mix of Airfix and Wartime Miniatures ww1 pilots all ready for a Canvas Eagles or WOW clash!
