This set of seven DC-3's is a very special issue by Ertl Collectibles to a gentleman who researched DC-3's in combat and had these seven engineered to exact replicas with the authentic markings form the actual military DC-3's in combat. All seven feature Ertl's superior quality with highly detailed graphics, retractable main landing gear, working propellers, rotating rubber wheels, windows, landing lights, nav lights, defined panels,working passenger door and very nice metal display stand. These DC-3's measure 15 1/2 inches in wingspan by 10 1/2 inches in length. There are very few opportunities to acquire all seven in the set as it took some hunting to get these. I have only "2" complete sets available and doubtful if they will be offered again.
