Thread: Douglas C-47 mods?

    Default Douglas C-47 mods?

    What's going on here!



    I go to work and come home to find one of my C-47's with its landing gear ripped out and these funny things wanting to be painted!



    Hmmmm . . . if it could happen to a C-47 it could happen to a Ju-52!

    Great! This looks special. You could try putting some floats on a B-17... Just an idea....

    Now we get serious . . . the original tires did not fully retract, so the kit tires were trimmed and glued on the bottom of the floats . . .



    Front view line up



    Auxiliary struts to follow . . .



    Can't decide about the tail wheel, it adds a bit of uncertainty for the future



    Sits up nice too, will have to look at the Ju-52 next . . . meanwhile to the paint shop, elves!

    This one is great, Dave.
    The DC-3/C-47 is such a beauty that all the possibilities to add one more is welcome.

    Should have known that when someone posted a C-47 seaplane you would make one. Great job.

    Looking really good thus far Dave.
    I wonder how many more of these conversions to floats are still waiting in the wings?
