A C-47 on floats!

[Giangio]

hi Everyone,

I'm trying to make floats for the XC-47 in 1/48, basically i've used some sections which Johnny put at page 1 and converted the floats from 2D to 3D with a cad software, but now i'm stuck with the struts that connect the floats to the aircraft.

I don't know the dimensions, neither where they have to be attached to the Float. Can anyone help me? I don't know where to look

All parts, once finished, will be 3D printed

I have pictures that I've found on the internet of the real C-53 on floats. It was taken off floats for a few years and is being put back on floats before it goes to its new owner in Alaska. My conversion set doesn't have all the struts made with it that the plane actually has. PM me your email address and I can send you pictures if you'd like.

 

Cheers,
