The Douglas DC-3/C47 Dakota is without doubt one of the most famous and most successful designs of aircraft in history, which revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s.
The DC-3 kit kit comprises of a wooden airframe, aluminium skin panels, diecast metal components photo-etched brass, detailed cockpit and interior, (parts are not pre-painted).

Oooh - that looks nice!! 
How many packs, what'll it cost and is that an early 'Pan-American' scheme that I see in the first photo?
Would certainly look good in the plain polished aluminium skin I think? Very Cool!!
Which reminds me, I must get on and do some work on my 'Buffalo Airways' DC-3 build!!

At a scale of 1:32 that means the wingspan will be 90.97 cms/35.81 ins (3ft!!) and the length will be 61.34 cms/24.16 ins (2ft!!) - Wow!! that's a good size!!
As far as I know there is only one other 1:32 kit of the DC-3 available and that's the much less detailed and rather basic 'Guillows' Balsa display kit?

Or posibly Dakota ZA947 in its D-Day livery which is currently flown by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), which can be seen at Air Shows throughout the UK.

In commemoration of the D-Day 70th anniversary in 2014, a “Dakota Fest” was organised, to bring as many as possible back to Normandy for the first time since 1944.

Would go very nicely with your Hachette Lancaster Derek, being as it's the same 1:32 scale?
Can't see you resisting it for long!!?

Looking forward to your Official Build Diary Derek!!
