Description

C47 Skytrain

The C-47 Skytrain was a derivative of the DC-3 which had been extremely successful as a pre-war civilian airliner, Plying its trade across the continental USA the DC-3 was the first airliner to be able to make money purely by transporting passengers alone.

When WW2 broke out the DC-3 was adapted for military use with a rear cargo door fitted and a strengthened floor amongst other adaptations. More than 10,000 were built during and after WW2 and some are still in use today in various guises, a testament to the outstanding design by Douglas of what is now an iconic aircraft.

Our 1/32 scale version ‘Southern Cross’ was built in 1943 as a C-47A-1-DK and took part in the D-Day landings.
This 1/32 scale model is priced at $1400 with only 2 available plus postage of $200 which is reflected in the banner price, there is no free shipping on Warbirds due to their large size.
