About the Douglas C-47 Skytrain/Dakota

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain, known as the Dakota in British service, was the military transport version of the legendary DC-3 airliner and one of the most important aircraft of World War II. With over 10,000 produced, the C-47 served in every theater of the war, dropping paratroopers on D-Day, supplying troops in Burma and China, and evacuating wounded soldiers. General Dwight D. Eisenhower named the C-47 as one of the four most important tools that won the war. The aircraft's rugged reliability and versatility kept it in service for decades after WWII, making it an iconic subject for transport aircraft enthusiasts and WWII aviation modelers.

What's Included

Eduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
