FREE SHIPPING IN THE US AND US TERRITORIES 1:144 Scale Diecast Metal - Douglas C-47 (DC-3) Skytrain / Dakota - Length: 5.5"  Wingspan: 7.75”   This Skytrain model has an optional landing gear where the pieces can be inserted to show the extended landing gear or omitted to give the appearance of the retracted position. However, if the landing gear is omitted, it does not exactly represent the inflight configuration as the wheel wells will be visibly empty. A display stand with information about the particular model is included.   The engine propellers do not spin freely, so don't try to spin them or you risk breaking them.   At a 1/144 scale, this model is compatible with the airline models. What is interesting is that the cockpit windshield in this model is actually made of clear plastic with very detailed painting. I mention this because in the airline models it is usually just painted on.   This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy
