      SAAF Dak # 6855 (completed)

      As you guys might have seen this is my Italeri 1/72 C-fc Dakota I posted in the under construction section.

      Today exactly 26 years ago the plane was hit by a SAM 7 missle over Angola, but the crew landed safely.

      The ripped fabric was made from white crepe paper that I attached with thinned wood glue.
      Brown in lightened HU 29 , green in Model master French Khaki and the blue in HU 230 PRU blue.
      Clearcoats are all Tamiya acrylic with flat base.

      I did some oil streaks behind the cowls, exhaust stains with chalk pastels.A few antennas made from card and stretched sprue.
      Not a super scale build, just something different.

      Comments welcome

      Great work Theuns the damage is spot on, a job well done, and some great piloting by the crew to get it down safely

      Nice use of camo. The damage to the tailplane is very realistic. Well done.
