New Tool Airfix C47 Skytrain 1/72

Just picked this kit up today. Very nice it is too.

Also discovered I have the old Airfix AC-47 in the stash too.

Side by side shared build to compare?...on you own

It looks like another terrific new mould from Airfix. Considering their past form with other new releases I'm sure it won't be too long before we see some other marking options. Of course there's quite a lot in the aftermarket world too

There might even be an aftermarket market garden set

Try saying that after ten pints

Thanks for sharing the kit photos iggie.

There's two other releases for later on in the year, the first with 2 civvie options - camo BOAC scheme and a Dan Air Ltd freighter;

A08015 1:72 Douglas Dakota
A09008 1:72 Douglas Dakota Mk.III with Willys Jeep

Searching Hannant's by DC-3, C-47, Dakota easily yields 30 sheets now ....

This is indeed a great looking new tool of this iconic aircraft. Civvie options would be of interest to me and especially of the often short-lived civilian operators from the Berlin Airlift period. Hopefully Airfix will also produce this kit as a Vietnam era "Spooky" gunship.
