Airfix 1/72 C-47A
It would
appear that Airfix changed their minds midstream on the astrodome. The
clear dome is cast with a tapered fit, while the fuselage is molded to accept a
stepped shape.
The bottom of the
astrodome was too large to fit in any part of the hole. The Dremel stone shown has
about the right drift angle and was used by turning it with the fingers,
test
fitting the astrodome until the fit was correct. As can be seen, the cockpit side windows and
the cabin windows have been installed. The left cockpit window required
just
a bit of sanding, but the rest fit very nicely.
