Douglas DC-3 (876mm)

Twin-engined transport monoplane Douglas DC-3 meant a true revolution in the history of aviation. Apart from the consistent application is still valid principles of engineering construction metal aircraft, as in "Douglas" has introduced an ingenious Jack Northrop, airlines got the first airplane that was fast, comfortable, had a high carrying capacity and its operation was so economical that reduced ticket prices have made air passenger mass thing. In 1938 DC-3 carried 80% of all paying passengers on flights to the USA! Like the civilian DC-3 have won immortal fame and military transport C-47 Skytrain or Dakota as sounding name of fighting with the British RAF, which has become a customary general indication of this machine. If you look closely at Boeing or Airbus, which you flew on a vacation, you will find that people are still basically do not fly anything other than "Dakota". If any of the manufacturers tried to introduce unusually shaped, theoretically super-advanced aircraft, with him never had great success - because everyone knows that good "traffic cop" looks like Dakota!

Designers mock traffic low-wing, static model with sophisticated details maketovými museum-quality in 1:32 scale. Operating Plan and enable the model to stand as a civilian DC-3, or military transport C-47.

The model is a classic balsa structure in Rozsyp with předseknutými wooden parts, scale accessories made of vacuum-molded plastic, plastic injection molding parts drawn by a předseknutými parts of "plastic plywood", a light and strong material replacing conventional plywood. The hull is constructed of course true minimaketářskou technology partitions a plurality of longitudinal enabling faithfully reproduce the rounded shapes. Built in two stages - thanks to "split" in the vertical plane stand directly on the countertop first half of the fuselage, and then to her "dolepíte" second half. This ensures that even complicated shapes hull stand straight and symmetrical, without needing any special preparations. Given that it is a model for advanced builders, you should already have prior experience with classical building.

Kit contains: balsa předseknuté parts, balsa wood beams, předseknuté parts from plastic plywood, vacuum-molded parts Scale (engine casings, engine, bow hull ...), plastic wheels, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, lining paper sheet wet decals, construction plan.

Tip for construction: Předseknuté parts NEVYLAMUJTE! Turn the plank, place it on a work surface and lightly sand the fine sandpaper (no. 220 or finer). The parts can then be easily separated; if they still have some wood fibers "tied" to a cutting board, carefully separate the part of the pattern, using a sharp knife (suitable eg. Excel No.1 knife with a blade No.11).
