Monogram C-47 Sky Train ??

If you have.. any issues that I should be worried about ? This was posted in General selection as well but have had NO answers.. surely someone out there has built this kit...

Hi Chris

It's been in my stash for many years, but it's so big, I've never had the space to build the beast!

I couldn't find an on-line review, but I did find one brief mention in an article about a conversion that it builds easily, but that you need to check to size and fit of the interior parts to be able to close the fuselage halves successfully.

I think Dave Cox built one a few years back for the Arnhem campaign. There don't seem to be any pics in his gallery anymore, but he might remember some dos and don'ts.

This would be a good kit to review. With Trumpeter's new-mould on the horizon, a look back to what else is available would be very timely, especially as it's so hard to find an online review of Monogram's kit.

All the best

Years ago...... to far away to remember and my skill level was low and wouldn't have been able to give constructive comments.

WOW !!!!!!!!!


guys thank you so much for replying, I was begining to lose faith... lol, Steffen, that link OMG.. I was simply amazed at the level of work and the attention to detail. Granted I don't think mine will come out looking like that bird.. I do plan on getting as close to possible of the bird I want to rep. but now I'm playing the Army's favorite game... hurry up an wait.. on them to reply to my request for information and possible photo archives.

well at any rate.. gents thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post. it is greatly appricated.

Thank You each...

Hi Chris!

I have this kit, too, but It´s still unbuilt.

I have looked down in the box several times and I promise: I WILL build her someday as The DC-3/C-47 are sooo beautiful aeroplanes!

There are some nice build-reviews here;

They are all conversions, but you´ll get a pretty good write-up on the original kit too.

Hope It gives some help!

Cheers!
