75th Anniversary of D-Day Invasion. (Tribute to C-47)

[unrauv]

Hi All I decided to create a 5' / 1524 mm wings span C-47. I may even seen in Buffalo Airways Plane Savers. Buffalo is restoring a this D-day bird for Oshkosh when there is going to be a big C-47/DC-3 fly in will be. I will be posting pictures and VBlog as much as possible.

Vincent,

Currently working on your v2 54" W/S Version for this very occasion. Would really love to see a 1/12 scale version (95" W/S).
Any chance of that happening?

Dude, You use MicroStation?!! How awesome is that?

I've used it for the last 23+ years, mostly with the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Parts cut out and ready for assembly. Helpers to keep the frame as square as possible.

Vincent,

Saw you on Plane Savers last night, great looking build.

Please complete and post your plans so that we can build sister ships for your C-47.

As always, great work!

Wow, very sad news indeed.
He has so many great designs and was a very dedicated builder.
Condolences to the family.

I was particularly impressed with Vincent tackling some challenging but awesome subjects like the Connie and the C-46. I would love to build up his C-46 design someday. I hope someone somehow is able to keep his website and designs available. Future flite test episode idea: would also be great if someone near his location could finish and fly the tribute DC-3 he was building if he didn't get a chance to complete the project. I never know the right things to say, but it for sure is a sad day.

Just Saw this, and Very sad and sorry to read about the loss of @unrauv 's He was more prolific than I would ever hope to be.

Is it possible to make a plans index here, and put the zips available?

There is an effort coordinating that over in this thread
