At the IPMS Nationals last month, some guy did a 1/144 scale diorama from the 1950’s movie “The Thing” which featured a C-47 and the buried flying saucer. I decided to do my own, so the other day I got the Minicraft kit and after I started I realized “I’ve got to put skis on this thing!” Do any of you know where I can find any good drawings and pics of them? Thanks for your help!
Hi Rebel,
Located a site with several nice pictures of the Artic Skis on a turbine tri-motor conversion DC-3: or here:
Here’s a great C-47 Designation and History site that you may find useful:
Hope this helps a little…

Sorry Rebel, I clicked the wrong link command… here’s the links that should have been in the previous message.
