"Vietnam era build"
ricmac50 (el paso, texas)
I built this model for a friend of mine that is a Vietnam veteran. He was associated with the OMS maintenance group which serviced these planes. I painted the plane with camouflage color scheme with tan, light green and dark green. This model is a 1:72 ,Italeri model and is a very good looking model for it's size. I enjoyed building for a military veteran in the Air Force in 1970 Vietnam.

"Great value"
vulcrider (SC)
Beautiful detail. Extensive decal sheet. Not too complicated especially for a new or returning to the hobby modeler. Can be detailed out to whatever level you want.

 
"Very nice older kit, good build, the detail is not up to today's standards"
rarem37
This kit builds up well, but it is not up to the standards of today's new molds. The gaps and joins need sanding to get smooth. This kit has been issued in a number of different versions including a gunship. They all have one thing in common; you must use a great deal of car when installing the cockpit glass. It is a very tight fit and if you try to force it; it will break!

 
"First and maybe last italeri."
adampender03
Worst of my kits yet. Plastic is weirdly thick but soft and bendy. Clear parts are brittle. Mold us old and needs retooling. Mold lines and ejector pin marks on every single part. Flash on several parts some parts were incase in it. Lots of sanding and filling required. Small fiddly parts were misshapen and brittle. Sprue gates were very large. Instructions were vague and decals were missnumbered on call out sheet. Stencils were tiny and some simply melted away when wet. Decals were oddly thick on some thin on others. Two have different thickness on the same decal. I took pics of these 2 decals. Front windshield doesn't fit at all. Very frustrating kit although the subject itself is one I'd like to try again.

Information

The DC-3 is one of the most famous aircraft in the history of aviation. Its introduction in the 1930's revolutionised air travel and made it possible for even the average person to afford to fly. When WWII began in 1939, the DC-3 was quickly adapted for military use and pressed into service as the C-47, also known as the Skytrain. The C-47 was used by all the Allied nations during the war and continued in service long afterward. Eventually, some C-47's were even converted to heavily armed gunships and used in Vietnam.
