thanks for nice comments everyone !, Caravelle has always been my favorite jetliner.

now I would like to start the second build for this groupbuild :) the C-47 and you probably guessed it in Loftleidir Icelandic airline colors. I have no decals but will mostly paint it and make my own decals.

Loftleidir had two c-47

TF-RVP, SC-47D-45-DK Loftleidir staff rescued Us Army Air Force plane from glacier Bardabunga in 1951, changed to civil and painted in Loftleidir colors in Blackbushe, England but immediately sold to Iberia.  Named Jökull (Glacier)

TV-RVM, C-47A-20-DK, 1948-1952. Named Helgafell ( a mountain name)

Not shure which one to do ?

I loved the Caravelle, but the Dakota is a real classic.  Looking forward to seeing the old lady complete :D

Finished the interior, cut out the benches and cut them into chairs. The chairbacks and floor plate cut from plastic card. The instrument panel is only a print with clear color.  
Borrowed some HO figures from the trainset :)
