Revell 1/72 DC-4 Blair plus lighting

The wiring will fit I just have to get some more mini leds and fibre optic and relocate the battery box to outside the aircraft.

GREAT Peter you can do it but you may need some soldered exstenion wires but that easy enough to do but i think it will bring the plane to life an look brillant with the lights down low like i do on my big USS ENTERPRISE

Good plan Peter. Cockpit looks the biz.
It's good that you've found room for the lighting wiring. Will you run motors for the props?
Cheers

I have decided to have another go and finish it and I have decided to ditch lighting as it was giving me a headache
So I am going to be doing the Iceland Airways scheme and have put some paint on.

[peterairfix]

I just remembered from a previous build of this one that it was tail heavy so i am going to try this

[peterairfix]

I have finally got the wings fitted and trussed up with a mountain of masking tape.

[peterairfix]

I have now fitted the tail and undercarriage but this is so tail heavy I have filled the entire front landing gear bay with weight and its still tail heavy

[adt70hk]

That's lot of weight Pete. Looking good though!!

[peterairfix]

Weight problems sorted.

[Mickc1440]

Looking good Pete, certainly taken some weight to tame it

[peterairfix]

Almost finished I was just painting the leading wing edges black because I had forgotten to I tested the decals had settled with a bit of tape yep it was OK but when I had finished I pulled the tape off carefully and bugger you can guessed what happened.
OH £###"£##£******!!!!!
