1/72 Esci C-47

Hi guys!  This is my 1/72 scale C-47 in the colours of Armada Argentina 'Grupo Naval Antartico' (Argentinaīs Navy Antartic Naval Group) This plane flown to the south pole in 1960.

The model is build O.O.B., I wanted to focus on the paint scheme.  I used an aftermarket set made by Aerocalcas.

The metallic paint is 'mitrhil silver' made by Citadel, I use it for the first time with another kit, because I run out of Alclad II, and Iīm very happy with this stuff.   Itīs an acrylic, great shine, takes very well the masking tape, and itīs cheap!!!

Once the paint was dry, I masked and painted all the other colours, this was an exhausting task, but it paid off in the end!

The last steps involved appling the excellent decals.

Iīm very happy with this model, and itīs a fine addition to my collection of Argentinian aircraft.

Best regards and happy modeling

Jeremias
