I do not remember well but I thought I had seen something of NOBI, I would have to review the list in edcard.

I'll definitely make some B-24s, B-17s and Wellingtons in the future.

Now I can offer you a RAAF C-47, of course from Pacific theater.

Anyone's interested in this subject?

BTW, you can give me some other suggestions for DC-3/C-47. Only military ones from WWII.

We need DB here. Somewhere in the deep dark recesses of my brain there is an image of a C-47 in CBI with the forward sweeping stripes that were carried on some P-51's there. Also I seem to recall a transport ship with nose markings used to ferry Gen. Stillwell. (when he wasn't too damned stubborn to walk)

This one? C-47 of 1352d AAFBU Search and Rescue, Mohanbari, Assam, India 1945.

Maybe. I thought the one I saw had white stripes on the upper surfaces. It may have been some navigation leader for long flights by P-51's

**PacificWind** · #87 07-21-2018, 06:19 AM

I've just found this one.
C-47, Burma 1944, 2nd Air Command, USAAF

Have a guess who K-man!!!

**PacificWind** · #89 07-21-2018, 07:12 AM

That RAAF C-47 should be ready before 25th July.

I'll have a lot of fun doing it. Pacific War subjects, especially Kiwi, Australian and Japanese are my favorites.

Yes. That is the one! I think it was some sort of navigation lead ship. Somewhere there is one with nose art that was Gen. Stillwell's (or maybe Wavell).
