Guest Smitty44 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) Hopefully I was not wrong about this obvious detail that nobody seems to pay attention to... The separate columns of the windshield windows are too wide. The side windows are too big even if they are just the frames. Please take a look at all the photos shown in this topic. In addition, the separate column right at the corner between the outer windshield window and the side window is too wide. Correct me if I am wrong, please... I don't know...take a look at the close up of the front of that's All Brother on pg 5. Corner brace looks pretty wide. Now perhaps the civilian versions look a little different or maybe it's the NMF playing games with the eye.

Guest Smitty44 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 By the way, That's All Brother got a new paint job this week and man does she look purdy. I can't wait to cross paths with her someday! Menelaos and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STWilliams Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 550? Humm, not tempting at all. Very, very not tempting at all. Extremely untemped. I'd rather buy 5 Tamiya kits, or 20 Revell kits. LSP_K2 and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizly Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 After pilot training with the RCAF I cut my teeth flying the venerable C-47 and accumulated over 2000 hours on it in three years before moving on to the C-130. For those interested, here are three different variants of port side doors - the standard cargo door, the cargo door with the para door insert in the forward door modified to provide swing down passenger steps and a straight passenger entrance (no cargo door).

holzemjo Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I would love to have one and I would love to build it, but neither my wallet nor my skills allow for any such thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Grizly Thank for the info. WOW! 2000 hours in a Gooney. Best I ever managed was as a passenger and as I remember, a bit on the noisy side. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Smitty44 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Be still my heart! They have yet to paint her name back on, but boy does That's All Brother look a might purdy. Jeff T, Out2gtcha and Menelaos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 If I could build a Gooney in EAL colors, I couldn't keep saying: But I have no room. Peter Well, there's a DC-3 with actual Wrights. A real "Early Bird" and a real DC-3, not a wartime C-47 convert. But I also can't take my eyes off that B.247 and what looks like the back end of a Northrop Gamma. Three genuine classics right there, folks. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Good Lord! This would be 2 feet by 3 feet in 1/32 scale! I thought the Felixstowe from WNW was big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dog Flying Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Just think what you could do with a 1:32 scale C-47/DC-3: cabin lights, cockpit lights nav lights landing lights, anti collision lights...geared electric motors buried in the P&W crankcases....All in fibreop[tics and mini LEDs. Did it all in my 1;48 Monogram DC-3 as RCAF 1000, VIP Transport from 412 Sqn. Would love to build this LSP Racer but eyes and hands have failed to co-operate Barnys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
