Italeri 127 British C-47 Skytrain (1:72 Scale)

Great model kit of a classic aircraft with an excellent price

Just a fabulous kit , excellent price and a joy to build. Thank you ITALERI .

Good product, not built yet

Great gift

Great kit

Didn’t fit together very well some parts had gaps I had to fill ther parts I had to shave to fit I know model kits aren’t perfect but this one was a nightmare

There are several options for a 1/72 scale C-47, of which this Italeri kit is the only one readily available. The same kit is also available in Airfix (the newer release, not the awful 1960s issue) and Revell boxings with different decals. The Airfix issue has white plastic instead of dark brown or green.There's also a `limited edition' Italeri AC-47 gunship available, which is the same kit with an additional sprue to hold the required extra bits, plus Vietnam era decals.The kit is relatively old, but has reasonable engine and cockpit detail and looks right when completed. Detail is engraved and a little on the heavy side, but a coat of paint will tone down the effect.There are options for different cargo doors, various aerials, engine air intakes and different window configurations, so the kit can also serve as a basis for a civil DC-3. Aftermarket decals, resin and photo etched parts are readily available.Assembly is straightforward but some filler will be needed at the wing roots and tailplane area. The supplied decals are for RAF or USAAF D-Day aircraft, however, they're not very accurate and you will get a nicer looking and more accurate model if you go for an after market decal sheet.Recommended

A nice kit I can not fault it , easy to do.

Nice product, finished

I'm in the middle of this build right now and I'm here to say, for a guy who doesn't build a lot of wingy things, I like this kit. Also, for an Italeri kit, the fit and finish is what I'd expect from Tamiya. The fuselage halves went together without a noticeable gap and without having to use a bunch of rubber bands to hold it from stem to stern. The same with the wings when; no gaps in the halves or when they attached to the fuselage. If the rest of the build goes as well as the first part, this is going to turn into a great model.This C-47 is going to be a memorial build of sorts. I had a cousin who flew one of these for the 2nd Combat Cargo Squadron in the CBI during WW2. Unfortunately, he was killed in a crash one morning shortly after take-off from his airfield in India. Since I've got the accident reports from that day that include the aircraft number of his plane, I'm going to try to build this plane as his.

arrivato in un giorno. Cosa dire : magnifico. Articolo nuovo ben confezionato senza danni. Rifarei volentieri affari con voi.

Conforme à ma commande

Calidad/precio buena relación. Bonita maqueta y fiel al original. Algunas piezas muy pequeñas del interior son innecesarias debido a la escala.
