Gold Edition Douglas DC-3 Twin Kit
MAA-Legal 82.5” Wingspan
When the Douglas DC-3 debuted in
1935, it marked a milestone in commercial aviation. Suddenly, flying was popular
and practical. Production ended just eleven years later, but the DC-3 lives
on in this expertly engineered kit. If you’ve never built scale or flown a twin,
it’s a great introduction!
- Handles like an advanced sport plane, with large aileron, rudder and elevator surfaces for easier piloting.
- Each engine functions independently–and is aligned to help keep the model controllable if one engine quits.
- Includes decal markings for military C-47 version.
- Easy-to-install, precision-formed ABS parts add such scale details as cockpit top, tail cone, engine nacelles and wing fairings.
- Detailed manual explains how to install optional, customized semi-scale retracts (LXHZ00).
- Can be built with split flaps and scale rudder for added authenticity.

The right engine gets 4° of right thrust…the left engine, 3°
of left thrust. If an engine goes out in flight—no matter which one—this offset
helps you maintain control over the model.
-
The cockpit top of the DC-3 is made of precision-formed ABS plastic.
For quick access to the hidden on-board radio switches, charge jack and battery,
all you have to do is remove this one piece.
-
Using included parts and plans, experienced builders can reproduce
the complex angles of the full-size DC-3’s rudder hinge line. It’s one of several
options to maximize scale accuracy.
