Wow, that does look right.

It does indeed

I've had one of those Williams C-46s for a couple of decades now and STILL haven't finished it.

One problem is the enormous clear canopy has a glue joint right down the centre line, but salvation is at hand because Falcon do a lovely crystal clear one in one of their WWII US sets.

There's not an excuse for me not doing it 'cos I've got the Falcon set!

I think you may have redefined the word AWESOME!

Ah, the fit of the c-46? Yeah, that's in par with Airfix, Revell of the same age. So, filler will be needed. But beware with too agressive toluene stuff as parts are moulded thinner than the Revell, Airfix stuff..

Thanks Dave. I'll keep an eye out. They were operated by Air America and seeing as I use the Air America font for the zenrat industries scheme I feel it would be good to do a zi one.

great transformation!

Looks great,
I had the S+M Model C-46 and added the wings from a B-17G. It's not an easy kit to build.

I have a Williams Bros. Boeing Model 247 that I'm turning into a USCG PB-1 "Trident". I really need to get to work on it. The parts that have gone together have been quality. So, I'd expect nothing less for the C-46.
