AC-47 gunship 'Spooky'
Conversion from Trumpeters DC-3

Scale:
1:48
Status:
Completed
Started:
August 1, 2024
Completed:
March 1, 2025
Time spent:
7 months

I converted Trumpeters 1:48 DC-3 kit to an AC-47 gunship with the help of scratchbuilding and resin printed parts. All the markings were painted on using self-made stencils. This was a submission to a group build organised on Instagram. It was the first time I did a conversion to this extent. Also the first experience constructing a whole interior of an aircraft.
