Thanks John , Brings back a few memories . Was stationed at Beaufort in HMS-32 , in 68 and 69 . Even in 68 I believe I faintly remember an R4D parked on the tarmac way down the flight line but it was so far away and I never went down there to check it out so it could have even belonged to the Navy or Air Force . . I did get a chance to ride in one when at El Toro MCAS , we went TDY to Yuma . I distinctly remember how cold it was inside (and oily smelling :icon_lol:it was)but the rumble of those great sounding radials made up for it .

Thanks again ,
Semper Fi ,

I was with HMS 14 in 78-79 and worked on the last two C-117s at Cherry Pt. I really wish some on with modeling skills would do 117.
 
John, those are beautiful repaints. And I'd also like to see a R4D-8/C-117 version made by somebody. Wouldn't be much of a stretch for Manfred (hint-hint) from the outstanding work he's already done on this C-47.
 
C-117

I worked on a C-117 with H&MS 32 back in the early 70's. It would loose an engine almost everytime it went up for longer than an hour.
