Italeri C-47 Model

The Italeri C-47 Model (HC-127) pays tribute to the legendary DC-3/Dakota Skytrain, an aircraft recognised worldwide for its reliability and long service life across multiple theatres and eras.

Developed from the DC-3, the C-47 served extensively with many nations. From the Second World War to the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War, this versatile transport became a workhorse of military logistics. It later gained notoriety in Vietnam in its offensive AC-47 gunship role. Depending on mission needs, the C-47 could be configured as a troop carrier with folding benches or as a heavy freighter.
