Italeri Dakota Mkiii

The Italeri Dakota Mkiii (HC-1338) celebrates one of aviation’s most enduring transport aircraft. Based on the wartime Douglas C-47 Skytrain—military development of the twin‑engine DC-3—the RAF and Commonwealth knew it as the “Dakota”, relied on for logistics, tactical transport, paratroop drops, and medical evacuation across every theatre of the Second World War.

Powered by two Pratt & Whitney 1,200 HP engines, the Dakota achieved a top speed of 360 km/h and carried up to 2,500 kg or 28 troops. This model kit captures the character of the type, supported by a super decals sheet and a coloured instruction sheet to guide your build and finishing choices.

Ideal for modellers and aviation history enthusiasts, this subject offers authentic markings potential and a historically significant centrepiece for any WWII aircraft collection.
