The Eduard 72590 surface panel set is a dedicated addition for the 1:72 scale C-47 Skytrain model, intended for the AIRFIX kit. This set allows for the precise recreation of the characteristic surface details of this iconic World War II transport aircraft. The C-47 Skytrain, also known as the Dakota, was widely used by the Allies, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Commonwealth nations on all fronts of World War II, and later during the post-war period and the Cold War.

The C-47 aircraft was invaluable during military operations such as the Allied invasion of Normandy (D-Day), resupply and airborne operations, as well as fighting in the Pacific theater. Its durability and versatility secured its place in the history of military aviation. Production of the C-47 began in 1941, and these aircraft were in use long after the war ended in various countries around the world.

The Eduard 72590 surface panel set is made from high-quality, thin photo-etched metal (photo-etch).

The set not only adds visual appeal to the aircraft but also allows for faithful replication of the finest details, which are difficult to reproduce using standard plastic components.
