Here is my Transall I built three years ago. I worked a lot on it to get closer as possible to the real aircraft aspect.

The cargo had been detailed to represent an empty configuration with all seats stored. Cockpit windows are in plexiglass to represent the sliding windows in open position. The main problem encountered was to modify the geometry of the main landing gears for the aircraft having a good pitch attitude on ground. Without these modifications, attitude is nose down compared to the real one. 

The finished aspect had been done according pictures from the real aircraft in early ninety's. I used Gunze paints with flat base.
