The Douglas DC-7C model boasts impressive detail, featuring animateable components like propellers, landing gear, ailerons, rudder, and flaps. It comes in various formats and is fully textured. As the final variant of Douglas' successful line of piston-driven airliners from the 1950s, the DC-7C was a large aircraft capable of carrying 90 to 100 passengers on long journeys, including transatlantic flights. Despite its popularity, it was overshadowed by the emergence of Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 jetliners. Consequently, the DC-7C served smaller airlines and regional carriers before finally giving way to the new era of aviation. Nevertheless, a few still fly today while others are being meticulously restored by museums and private owners.
