Italeri 1349 Douglas DC3 Swissair (1/72) – plastic passenger aircraft scale model

The Italeri 1349 Douglas DC3 Swissair at 1/72 scale is an extremely detailed plastic model kit representing the legendary Douglas DC3 in the livery of Swissair, the Swiss national airline. This kit is not only a proposition for civil aviation enthusiasts, but also a treat for collectors of historically significant models – the DC3 is an icon of world passenger aviation.

The Douglas DC3 is an American passenger aircraft, designed by the Douglas Aircraft Company in the 1930s. The Swissair version faithfully reflects the features of machines used by Switzerland's national carrier. The model represents the aircraft, which was mainly operated by Swissair before World War II and during the postwar years, up until the late 1950s. The DC3, being a symbol of the revolution in air transport, served both during World War II (as the C-47 in its military version) and in civil aviation.

The Italeri kit on offer is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring both ease of processing and durability of the finished model. The 1:72 scale guarantees an excellent compromise between detail fidelity and compact size. The model does not include glue or paints – they are available separately – so each modeler can choose their favorite products to finish their build.

The box contains carefully formed sprues with parts, clear elements for the cockpit glazing and Swissair decals for faithfully recreating the historical paint scheme. The whole set allows you to create an impressive display model, ideal both for dioramas and individual collections.
