MMI14434   Minicraft   1/144 Douglas DC-3

TECH NOTES
   This is a 1/144 Plastic Douglas DC-3 "Legends of Aviation" Model Kit from
                  Minicraft Models.  It's for ages 10 and up.

     In 1932, TWA circulated specifications for a tri-motor, 12 passenger
transport to compete against the Boeing Model 247.  The winner of the contest
was the Douglas DC-1 which had the greatest capacity, speed and range of any of
the competitors.  The DC-2 and DC-3 soon followed with expanded load ability
and more powerful engines.  There is hardly an airline or air force in the
world that hasn't employed the DC-3 at one point or another.

FEATURES: Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in light grey.
          The exterior surface of the DC-3 is elaborately decorated with metal
            plate seams, bolt heads, and various other minute details.
          Detailed engine assemblies give the craft a wonderful sense of
            realism.
          The landing gear system is finely detailed.
          Includes a clear windshield.
          Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.
