This Dragon re-box of the Hasagwa DC-3 1:200 scale has fine recessed panel lines and goes together with no filler required.

Gray primer is on:-

Looks really nice so far, Richard.

I'm betting a nickel you break off those antenna's before your done.

Guess Which one? nickel is on its way

Murphy's Law is always prevalent in modelling. I'm certain you'll beat the odds in the end.

Silver is on White next then Black for de-ice boots:

DC-3 is complete!
Dragon re-box of a Hasegawa,1:200 scale and it was a joy to build and only $9.98:-

I've never actually seen a 1/200 in real life, Richard. I believe they are the same scale as what we used to call 'dinky-toys' when I was a kid.
In any event, I know its small. It certainly looks nice, with an attractive color scheme. Well done, I say.

Could have used a little off color on the engines.

Thank you Ben.
"Could have used a little off color on the engines"
Good point! Next time

That's lovely!
The decals look great. I like the ones on the wing trailing edge.

Richard, very impressive build of such a small kit. Well done my friend.
Joel

Thank you Jonathan.
Probably say's "Keep off "

Thank you Joel
I have another in my stash , I will try to find other decals for the next time.

Here are a 1:48, 1:44 and 1:200 together,my next build will be in 1:72.

Someone's issued a 1/32 Dak??!?
(Shirley that's the 1/48 kit, no?)

Jessica you are correct! It is Monogram 1:48 DC-3.
My brain froze jumping from1-200, it looked huge !

Here are the details of my next build:-

Company: Italeri
Product name: DC-3 Dakota
Product number: 132
Scale: 1:72
Type: Full kit
Includes: Plastic sprues, Waterslide decals, Clear parts
Released: 1981 | Rebox (Updated/New parts)

I will be building Buffalo Airways C-47 C-GPNR using Leading Edge Decals.
The aircraft was built in 1941, was RCAF KG602, later CAF 13333.
Purchased by Buffalo Air in 1980 with 13,000 flying time.



Picked up in Toronto, $24.50 for the model and $10 for the decals.

Richard that's a very appealing group of all different scales of DC-3s.

I'll bump this thread along. This welsh models C-54 project recently came to the top of the pile. the challenge was to set the engines in place and then cement the tops of the wings down on top of them.




The C-54 / DC-4 Welsh kit is a bit more difficult to assemble than the DC-3, but its done now. Next, I have to a bunch of filling and fairing to do.


seems to have worked alright.

Looking good Jonathan.
Take your time with the build, maybe more will join in.

I still have that DC-5 kicking about...

Hi Jessica
When you have time to work on the DC-5 please post photos here.

haha, I have another one of these, i can let go for small money, if anyone wants to try it.

includes metal landing gears, but vac props and engines.

I got around to filling the cabin window as I will be using decals:-

Time for an update, slow progress due to life getting in the way!:-

Worked on Wings and Tail parts this weekend:-
