This new decal sheet from Blue Sky Models features one very special C-47tp-EW Turbo Dakota in the 2005 Anniversary scheme.

The paint scheme on this C-47 Dakota is pretty straight forward.  It is overall blue-grey with white upper fuselage. 

The nose and anti-glare panel is black and the rear engine covers are also black extending to the wing tailing edge.  There are some special markings for this anniversary scheme.

The instructions are straight forward and also include painting instructions.  

The decals themselves are reasonably well printed on the 1/72 sample I have before me, but they aren't the sharpest printing I've seen.  

There are 2 pages of colour instruction sheets with 3 view colour drawings of this aircraft.  This decal sheet will give modellers an interesting option for this classic transport aircraft.
