Belgian Air Force C-47 Dakota "NASARR"

Post by did_nev »

My first build this year is a fact!!!! And it's a special bird this time.

I present to you Pinocchio, A C-47 Dakota "NASARR". In fact a training aircraft for F-104 pilots to get accustomed to the new radar.

Kit consists off 1/72 Italeri C-47 and the nose of an Academy F-104.
