Wow...some nasty seams on this MOJO...
Re: Monogram 1/48 DC-3 - Eastern Air Lines
This thing has a wingspan of a bit over 23", so it takes up some space! I had forgotten how big it was.
I actually have 6 more - 3 DC-3 and three C-47. Love this guy.
Seams cleaned up pretty good or so it appears to me. I'll post some pics later. Been one hell of a day and a half.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

used the rattle can chrome...6 dollars a can versus 8-9 dollars for Alclad.
A bit of a seam above the cockpit is visible, but that is the way it will be.

That chrome finish looks nice. I often use spray can for metallics. My suggestion would be to put an oil wash over the chrome finish and that a flat coat, that gives a very nice "used" look to your model.

Thanks, gentlemen. Borg, I think she will be fairly shiny as the airline would keep the ship pretty clean. I guess I'll get an old sock out and rub it down.
