Build a Civilian C-47 Skytrain
Recreate a classic twin-engine transport aircraft in distinctive civilian colors with the MOC-269819 Douglas C-47 Skytrain “Air Chathams” Building Blocks. Designed by Al3xW40, this 2,612-piece model is inspired by the restored C-47 operated by New Zealand airline Air Chathams.
A Detailed Civil Aviation Conversion
This version replaces the traditional military markings with a civilian red-and-white livery and includes redesigned wing, fuselage, and tail sections. Landing and navigation light details further distinguish it from the military C-47 configuration.
Explore a Full Passenger Interior
Removable front, rear, and side roof sections provide access to the cockpit and passenger cabin. Inside, the aircraft features rows of seats and tables, with space designed for up to 13 figures including the pilots.
Working Aircraft Functions
The propellers are mechanically linked and can be rotated using an insertable key. A separate mechanism operates the retractable landing gear, while movable wing flaps, tail control surfaces, passenger doors, and cargo doors add even more functionality.
A Classic Aviation Display Model
Combining vintage aircraft styling, mechanical functions, and a detailed civilian interior, this C-47 makes a distinctive centerpiece for aviation and historic transport aircraft collections.
