The C-47 Skytrain (the military version of the famous Douglas DC-3) was one of the most important Allied transport aircraft during World War II. It became famous for its participation in Operation Overlord — the Normandy landings in 1944, where these aircraft transported paratroopers and supplies. The C-47A was used from the early 1940s, throughout World War II, and in the post-war period by many armed forces worldwide.

The Trumpeter 1/48 scale model is considered successful; however, the engine cowlings originally included require corrections in shape and detail to fully reflect the realism of this combat aircraft. The Quickboost QB48329 set enables quick and trouble-free replacement of the inaccurate parts. The good fit and excellent detail quality make it suitable for both intermediate and very experienced modelers seeking the highest level of historical accuracy.

We recommend this product to all aviation enthusiasts of the World War II era and precision modelers building dioramas and 1/48 scale model collections. The assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 – the set is easy to use, but we recommend basic knowledge of resin work.
