What is big and
orange?
I guess that some of
you thought about a Braniff Boeing 747 but the answer is a Monogram 1/48
scale DC-3. I built mine as a Swedish plane in WW2 neutrality paint. It was used
by AB Aerotransport (ABA) and was shot down in 1943.
During my 40 years
of modelling I never finished a 1/48 scale plane but this time I finally made
it.

I sanded
down the raised panel lines and replaced them with a rivet pattern. It is
awfully big when you are used to 1/72 tanks and planes. It hardly fits in my
paint box. I painted it in Testors #4682 International orange. I then cut masks
for the registration letters from masking tape and painted the letters black.
