Just finished, showing the aircraft and the two smaller items that came with the kit, a Jeep and a Field Gun. The rear doors have rubber hinges so rest partially open.

Looks good!

Brings back fond memories.

When we were kids would hear them and run outside to see them go over.

Headed south and then later in the evening headed back north following US45.

Found out years later they were flying freight and mail from Chicago to Champain .

Very nice build. Sometimes referred to as the "Flying Coffin". One landed at the base I was stationed at in Thailand. It was painted flat black and needed major repairs for some bullet holes through the rear stabilizer.

Thanks guys. We had an American base (Upper Heyford) nearby until recently and we have heavy British transport now also nearby at Brize Norton. It's all new heavy transport, big and load!
