Decal Sheet Title C-47/C-53D "D-Day Doll" Commemorative Air Force
Types Featured AC-47D

Kits-World mainly specialises in World War II subjects. Sheet KW172096 covers a number of C-47 and AC-47 aircaft flying today in representative schemes, the main option being for "D-Day Doll" of the Commemorative Air Force. The other options on the sheet are of more interest, being three restored aircraft marked as AC-47s as follows:-

This sheet is very much a "mixed bag". The decals themselves have a high gloss finish and are beautifully printed. The instructions are another matter. Whilst left, right, upper and lower schemes are provided for each aircraft, no color references are provided and the colour descriptions provided are generic. However, this is understandable given that the airframes featured are restored and painted to represent "in service" aircraft, so it is up to the modeller to decide what colors to use!
