Monogram 1/48th scale AC-47 Gunship

[bradley25mm]

               A friend of mine asked me if I were interested in building this for him. While in the Air Force, he maintained the mini guns, and taught aircrews how to use them. 
                 I started off by removing all the raised panel lines. Sanding everything smooth, then using a rivet wheel to add lines. After that, I started to open up the fuselage. For some reason, the kit included a lavatory, but it could not be seen. I opened it up and added a lot more detail. 
                    He pretty much let me detail it as much as I wanted. I decided to add lights to the interior. White for non tactical, red for tactical. All the ribbing, and cushion panels were scratch built. 
                     Thanks for having a look.

If he doesn't love this you should do like Rocky Raccoon and hit him in the eye! But don't hang around for the revival.
