janneman36 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 The plane on the box is the C47 9Q-CUK/ N41CQ ( former Vallentuna Aviation Club aircraft)that has been sold last year to China to commemorate 70 years of the people’s republic of China Hence the 70 years logo on the decalsheet and the N41CQ registration as well. Difference with this boxing is that it probably has the C47 fuselage and C48 interior .. cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopkp Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) I'm just wondering if anyone who's actually got this 'DC-3' kit can confirm that all of the parts needed to build a standard military C-47 are in the box? From the sprue shots it looks that way, but it'd be great to have it confirmed before actually parting with money.....the original C-47 boxing seems to be hard to come by these days but this version seems to be pretty readily available.

Boman Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 You can compare with the original C-47A boxing here: C-47A Skytrain (Plastic model) - HobbySearch Military Model Store (1999.co.jp) Haven't studied it in detail, but seems to be the same.

Thanks for that! Yes, it does seem to have all of the necessary parts, probably worth taking a chance on it, I can get one for around €55..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
