Title: I prepped DC3/C47 access panels for nose art
Post by: G0ALY on November 27, 2017, 12:28:32 AM: I’ve had these DC3/C47 access panels in the rafters of my garage for about five years. I just cleaned, primed and painted them for my daughter to paint WWII nose art on. There is one more that she has already started for a total of nine. I was able to leave one unpainted. The bare metal one had damage that originally came from within the panel. I pounded it inward to make it look more like flack damage. I’m curious to see how it looks when finished.

Here are two full size DC3/C47 cowlings that she painted.

We have art picked out for all but two of them. I’ll post some pics as they are finished.
CHEERS! goaly

If you haven't chosen a scheme for the unpainted one, a checker boardpattern would look nice.

I did the checkerboard on the sheepdog cowling. It would look nice, But it is a pain to do on a curved surface.

I see that now. I didn't scroll to the right far enough.

Good stuff!

Thanks. Here is a pic of the back wall. The access panels that we are using are visible in the rafters on the right side. The ceiling fan is a Hartzell propeller.

Our deal for the panels is, I keep two, and sell the rest for her on eBay.

Cheers! Goaly
