This is the
Minicraft kit of the Douglas DC-3. It has been said that it is wrong in
many ways, but I didn't do anything to fix those faults. The only thing I
did was to fill the passenger door and move it to the right side of the
fuselage. This is not because it was wrong on the kit, it's just because
this aircraft used by the Swedish airline AB Aerotransport (ABA) was of an
early production where the door was placed on the right side. I decided to
build mine in the "neutrality colours" used on planes during the
WW2. It had a row of lights on the top of the fuselage and was earned the
nickname "the Flying christmas tree" in Scotland because of
this. Two of these planes from ABA was shot down during the war.
