DC3 Dakota

It's ready for Run ups and test flight.

This scheme depicts the Dak's that RCAF 435 sqn flew during WW2 over the Burma Hump. While in the RCAF I served with 435 Sqn as a Rigger working on Hercs. Saw action during the first gulf War and the Somalia crap.

The Model has a fiberglass fuse, built up wings and fiberglassed, Robart electric retracts, Zenaoh G38's, Paint is Krylon Ultra-Flat camouflage paint purchased at your local Canadian store, Top coated with Tremclad clear Satin, 9 servos. I also made all the decals with my Silhouette Cutter.
