This represents a C-47 from the IX Troop Carrier Pathfinder Group. On 6 June 1944 at 0016 hrs this aircraft dropped Pathfinder Stick No. 19 from the 502nd PIR over Drop Zone C Normandy. All Unit markings have been painted over.

Nice finish! I like your details, like the ID markings painted out, and the hastily-applied recognition markings.

That's a great, classic kit, and yours looks great!

I built a pair of them when I was a kid, and hung them from the ceiling in my room. I had the troopers jumping, with parachutes made from tissue paper. Now I've got one in the stash, awaiting display space for a diorama, like the one Shep Paine did, boarding for the D-Day jump.

Prost!
