I will specify which variants correspond. There are versions of USA, UK, Italy and Japan.

They are very nice, but need color.

I know these are purposely unpainted, but we need an example of a painted one, I mean just one not all of them. Just hoping to add to the awesome, and not bring you down.

Oh crap. I still don't know where everything goes. At least I know "Real Designs" is ships only, otherwise the mods would be moving my stuff left and right.

Very nice Sea Kings, but I agree with Colosseum that some labelling would be useful.

Meaning You and who else? Asking just out of curiosity.

@Squizzy
I'm not going to argue wether it's the correct side or not, but I have to say that I don't like the shape of the lower edge of the main cargo door - it's too "wavy" IMHO (I guess that it was rather either straight line or regular arc). Otherwise it's very nice.

@eswube- i had a double check before i started it and door angle is correct

Wrong side...

yes you are right the plane however the Commando did have Cargo doors on both sides. A double lift up on the left (pilots) hand side while on the right (co-pilots) hand side they had a single lift Cargo door as well as jump doors on both sides for paratroops. (something that the C-47 didn't have)

@DarthPanda
Great work with these Buffalos!

@Squizzy
I meant, I doubt if it's "s" shaped.

But of course, it's just an esthetical detail.

@Squizzy

My two cents :
At the level of rear wheel doors, curve should be convex throughout the belly but your version is slightly concave.
I also think that the engine cover is to review based on the pictures, the schematic found on google is wrong at this point.

Wiki concerning doors, choose your model !
C-46A fitted with a enlarged cargo door on the port side,
C-46D fitted with an single extra door on the port side,
C-46E equipped with a large cargo door on the port side,
C-46F equipped with cargo doors on both sides of the fuselage.
