Roden 310 Douglas AC-47D Spooky 1/144

The Roden 310 Douglas AC-47D Spooky 1/144 scale plastic model kit is a unique offering for modeling enthusiasts and military aviation history fans. This detailed set represents the legendary American gunship, known as "Spooky" or "Puff the Magic Dragon." The model faithfully reproduces the aircraft used by the United States Air Force during the Vietnam conflict, in the era of the Cold War (1960s).

The Douglas AC-47D Spooky is derived from the iconic C-47 Dakota transport but was specially adapted to serve as a gunship. Its most distinctive feature was powerful side-mounted armament—three 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine guns mounted on the sides of the cargo hold, enabling intensive fire on enemy positions while flying in a circle. The AC-47D Spooky was first deployed in combat at the beginning of the Vietnam War, providing effective support to ground troops during base defense, convoy patrols, and responding to guerrilla attacks. The success of these aircraft inspired the development of subsequent generations of American gunships.
