1:48 C-47 Dakota correct tail rudder

C-47 Dakota Rudder – Correct Shape 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set replaces the rudder of the American twin-engine Douglas C-47 Dakota transport in 1:48 scale. It offers a corrected shape and accurate fabric covering texture with the ribs picked out, which on some plastic kits removes an inaccuracy in the silhouette of the tail. The part is meant for advanced modelers with resin experience.

What the part is for

The rudder does a great deal to define the silhouette of the tail surfaces, so even a small inaccuracy in shape shows on a finished model. The resin casting captures the correct outline and the fine texture of the fabric covering that injection-molded plastic struggles with. Once painted and lightly weathered, the tail area looks accurate.

Usage tips

• Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
• Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
• If you want the rudder deflected, check the angle with a dry fit to suit your scene

Who the part is for

• For builders of the C-47 Dakota transport in 1:48 scale
• For advanced modelers with resin experience
• For lovers of a correct tail silhouette and accurate covering

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
