Wikipedia:

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota (RAF designation) is a military transport aircraft developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front-line service with various military operators for many years.[2]

Approximately 100 different countries' armed forces have operated the C-47 with over 60 different variants of the aircraft produced.

My Build:

I am really really proud with how this looks, but do note the following
1. It is nose heavy, and does not fly very easy
2. There is a small start up procedure, so read in flight instructions
3. I suggest you fly with full flaps, and full trim up, to make flying easier
4. action group 1 opens the doors.

Enjoy!
