“Remarkable Douglas” is a twin-engine monoplane with a cigar-shaped fuselage, a classic tail section, and rear steering wheel landing gear.
The buildable model retains all exterior details reminiscent of the legendary Douglas “Dakota” DC-3 aircraft. This is, first of all, the characteristic shape of the cockpit, which gives the aircraft the famous “dolphin profile.” The square shape of the windows, which was preserved in all modifications of this aircraft, is also preserved.
For the modular model “REMARKABLE DOUGLAS,” a passenger configuration with windows and a door was chosen.
It is worth noting that the prototype model, the Dakota DC-3, was often used as a passenger aircraft. The “luxury” class had variations, with only ten seats and a sleeping compartment. The standard modification accommodated an average of 30 passengers.
“Dakota” had two ” pistons” with the characteristic blade shape. This feature is preserved in the prefabricated model.
A gear system transmits the winding mechanism’s rotation to the engines, ensuring the propellers’ rotation for about 30 seconds.
The Remarkable Douglas model sits on a stable display platform. It contains a spring-driven winding mechanism.
The model can be separated from the platform and put on the chassis. You can also simulate the “flight” of the model by h”nging “t on a fishing line or polymer thread (not included). In the state disconnected from the central mechanism, the screws can only be turned by hand.
The “Remarkable Douglas” wings have openings that make the model lighter and provide a view of the internal structure and moving mechanisms.

Remarkable Douglas DIY Aircraft Mechanical Model Kit

Perhaps unique among prewar aircraft, the DC-3 continues to fly in active commercial and military service as of 2022, 87 years after its first flight in 1935. Small operators with DC-3s are still in revenue service and as cargo aircraft. Current uses of the DC-3 include passenger service, aerial spraying, freight transport, military transport, missionary flying, skydiver shuttling, and sightseeing.

The Douglas “Dakota” DC-3 is the most important commercial aircraft in human history. Since the end of the 30s of the XX century, it has been flying for 80 years. This aircraft is the result of a brilliant engineering idea, brought to life by talented designers. Wherever this metal-winged “dolphin” appeared: in the Amazon rainforests, the Antarctic snows, and the Himalaya mountains. And everywhere, the sound of its engines carried the hope that the cargo would be delivered, people would be saved, and the lost would be found.

The DC-3 has many advantages. This landing gear design features a rotating wheel in the tail section, allowing the aircraft to turn about its axis within a small area. It also featured a “nose-up” fuselage arrangement that gave the impression the Dakota was taking off even when standing on the ground. This provided a short takeoff run. Robust racks and wheels of the front landing gear withstood landing on any more or less flat surface. This allowed the DC-3 to be used on short, unpaved runways, making it a versatile aircraft with many uses, from working farmland to smuggling in the South American jungle. Modifications to the Dakota were also evident during military conflicts, where it served as an ambulance, a landing and cargo aircraft, and even a bomber.

The Dakota DC-3 inspired pilots and engineers who built new aircraft based on one of the most reliable designs. It also became the hero of many books and adventure films. Many legendary monoplane modifications continue to carry cargo and people.

The simplicity, reliability, and legendary image of this aircraft inspired Metal Time designers to create the REMARKABLE DOUGLAS assembly model.

Shipping Policy

To minimize or avoid tariffs, we ship from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan.

Fast Delivery! We ship via FedEx, UPS, DHL, and USPS because they're fast, reliable, and easy to track. We process orders within 24 hours, and delivery may take 4-7 working days, depending on your location. We'll email you the tracking number once your order is shipped. We sell in USD.

Shipping Costs: For some industrial products, such as heavy wheels and CNC machines, we calculate shipping costs by weight rather than quantity. To reduce shipping costs for orders with multiple items, please email us at sales@ozrobotics.com before placing your order. We show shipping rates on the product page under the SHIPPING tab. To view the shipping cost for your country, click 'Add to Cart' on the product page.

Return Policy

5 Hours: Mistakes happen when ordering, so you have 5 hours to request a refund for any reason, including if you don’t want to pay the tariff. However, Stripe will not refund you their processing fee if you cancel your order.

All Sales Are Final: After 5 hours, we cannot cancel your order or issue a refund because order cancellations incur multiple transaction processing fees from Stripe and PayPal, additional shipping fees, and reverse tariff payments, which are costly and time-consuming. For technical issues, we will be happy to assist you in resolving problems and provide a replacement if you can prove that the product has a manufacturing defect.

Exchange Policy: We want you to be happy with your new purchase. However, once you have used the product, we cannot issue a refund. However, we will offer an exchange for a product with irreversible manufacturing defects or technical issues. If you purchased the wrong product, then you, as the customer, will be responsible for the re-shipping fees and tariffs. If the product you purchased is defective, email us at support@ozrobotics.com with photos or a video of the faulty parts so we can evaluate the issue before arranging a replacement.

Terms and Conditions

If you were not at home or at your shipping address during the parcel delivery: It is not our or the supplier's fault; if the shipping/delivery company could not deliver your parcel because you, the customer, were not at home or at your delivery address on the delivery date/time, and as a result, the carrier returned your parcel to the manufacturer from where it was shipped. Please note that we do not accept excuses; you will therefore have to pay the re-shipping fee and the tariff for any re-shipment request. In such a case, we will not issue a refund. Please always check your spam folder to ensure you receive emails from Oz Robotics and shipping companies.

Product Warranty: Our warranty covers only product-related problems caused by manufacturing defects. It does not cover problems resulting from faulty repair attempts, customer accidents, or misuse.

We’re here to help you buy the hottest products affordably, with fast shipping and World-Class Customer Support. However, please review the newly imposed tariffs and click the Delivery tab to read our Return and Refund policies before making a purchase. We sell in USD.

Tariff: To minimize or avoid tariffs, we ship from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan. Since we don’t always ship products to you from the USA (except for products made in the USA or stocked), you won’t be affected by the new tariffs imposed by the USA. Due to new tariff agreements, not all products are subject to tariffs, as tariffs vary by country and product. For example, customers in the USA will pay a tariff on products imported from China, based on the tariff rate agreed between the USA and China. If applicable, you will pay the tariff in your country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff, which you’ll pay before the delivery. We will not issue a refund if you don’t pay the tariff.

Tariff vs. Shipping Fee: Please don’t confuse the shipping fee with the tariff, because they are two separate charges. You pay us a shipping fee for the carrier to deliver your order to your door. You pay the tariff to the customs office, a branch of your government, as an import tax.

Why aren’t we adding tariffs to the product’s retail price? If all countries imposed the same tariff amount and used the same currency, we would have added that tariff to the product’s retail price. Our suppliers and we are not responsible for tariffs. Please shop accordingly.

Ships From: On this product page, check the Ships From: label to see which country the product ships from. We do not ship all products from the USA; some products ship from regions such as China, Taiwan, Canada, and Europe. Therefore, the tariff you pay depends on the country of origin, as not all countries charge the same rate. For example, suppose the US imposes a 30% tariff on goods imported from China; in contrast, other countries may impose a significantly lower tariff, or even none at all, on goods shipped from China into their countries.

Attention! We will email you the tracking number so you can follow your parcel. The shipping company will contact you by phone, text, or email to arrange payment of the tariff. However, as the customer, you are responsible for responding to their calls, texts, or emails. You can also use the tracking number link we emailed you to contact the shipping company and pay any applicable tariffs, if you haven’t already.

Heads Up! We’re not responsible if the shipping company returns your parcel to the country of origin due to the unpaid tariff or non-compliance with its requirements. As a result, you will be responsible for reshipping costs and applicable tariffs. We will not accept any excuses for failing to follow up with the shipping company regarding the tariff, and we will not issue a refund.
