This old 1/48th Monogram C-47 Skytrain kit was originally released in 1978. The moulds are now in Revell's possession and still available on occasion. By the standards of the day, Monogram's 1/48th C-47 kit was well detailed and included [...]
Back from the forgotten storage box: Monogram 1/48 Douglas C-47A Skytrain

1/48 Trumpeter C-47 conversion to the Tropical Tilly R4D-5 from the 1951 movie “The Thing from another world”.
