The twin engine C-47A Dakota first entered service in the late 1930s as the DC-3 civilian airliner. The military version, the C-47A was used throughout World War 2 and continued to be used by United States armed forces long after the Second World War. This model represents an early war C-47A operated in the Pacific theatre of operation and features recessed panel lines, position-able landing gear and stand for displaying the airplane in the air or on the ground. This kit features high-quality decals printed by Cartograf and the new Minicraft clear stand for display "in flight".
