Product Article by Steve Bamford on June 4 2012

 

This new decal sheet from Leading Edge Models includes markings for the C-47 that is operated by Buffalo Airways in the North of Canada.  If you've watched the TV show "Ice Pilots", then you know all about the hard working characters that makes it possible for this family run operation take to the air each day.  The operation is run by a crusty old character by the name of Joe.

One of their planes is a vintage C-47 "Summer Wages" C-GPNR and this decal sheet provides you with markings for this C-47.This aircraft was built in 1944 for the RCAF and was purchased in 1980 by Buffalo Airways with 13,000 hours on the airframe.

This decal sheet is also available in 1/48 scale.

There are 2 pages of instructions that include 4 view colour profiles and all the info you need. The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with one smaller insert sheet.  You get all the green stripes for the sides of the fuselage, but you will be required to paint the green on the tail and tops of the wings. 

With the popularity of the TV show "Ice Pilots", it is exciting to see this new decals sheet.

I would like to thank Leading Edge Models for providing me with this product sample.
