My latest scale model build and second of 2023 is Italeri’s C-47 Skytrain. I’ve had it in my stash since doing a Pegasus Bridge D-Day diorama some years back when I had a plan to have it flying overhead with paratroopers leaping out in support of the glider troops below. This never happened due to my short attention span and me having moved on to my next build!
Having just read over Christmas the interesting book “The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy” I was inspired to dust off the C-47 and build it as D8 of 94th TCS commanded by Major Joseph A Beck II and then discovered was based at Station 462 Upottery, of Band of Brothers fame, here in Devon!
This was a really nice kit to build. Very simple but lots of nice detailing. I’ve since seen that Airfix have recently re-released their 2014 moulding and this comes with decals for another of Upottery’s aircraft … how can I resist!
Hope you like it.
