The Douglas C-47 Skytrain, alternatively known as Goonybird, Skytrooper, or Dakota, was derived from the Civilian Douglas DC-3. During World War II, it played a crucial role in transporting cargo and personnel globally for the Allies. This versatile aircraft also facilitated paratroopers, towed gliders, and served various logistical purposes. Equipped with Pratt and Whitney R1830-901C Twin Wasp engines, its retractable landing gear allowed operation from rough fields. Despite its historical origins during WWII, the Skytrain continues to serve in both military and civilian capacities worldwide. Recently, a turboprop conversion extended its operational lifespan even further. This meticulously detailed near-scale model boasts animatable propellers, landing gear, flaps, elevators, rudder, and ailerons. Textured surfaces feature rivet patterns for an authentic appearance. Available in multiple formats for easy downloading, this model showcases the enduring legacy of the Douglas C-47 Skytrain.
