COBI 5743: Douglas C-47 Skytrain Dakota

Description

This 1:48 model of the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, also called the Dakota, captures the famous World War II transport aircraft in a display-friendly format. With 896 pieces, it offers a substantial build that suits collectors who want a detailed model rather than a simple quick project. The finished aircraft includes movable propellers, ailerons, rotating wheels with rubber tires, and opening doors, along with a reinforced stand and name plate for presentation. The set also comes with two figures, a pilot and a paratrooper from the 101st Airborne Division, which adds a clear military scene to the display. Durable printed details are used throughout, so the markings are part of the model rather than separate stickers. At over 40 cm long, this is a sizeable build that should stand out on a shelf.
