Remarkable Douglas DIY Aircraft Mechanical Model Kit

Original price was: $129.00.Current price is: $99.00.

  • “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”-piste” engines with the characteristic shape of the blades. 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 winding mechanism driven by a spring.
  • 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 move by turning them 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, eighty-seven years after the type’s 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 human history’s most important commercial aircraft. Since the end of the 30s of the XX century, it continues to fly 80 years later. This aircraft results from a brilliant engineering idea embodied by talented designers. Wherever this metal-winged “dolphin” appeared: in the Amazon rainforests, the Antarctica snows, and the Himalayas mountains. And everywhere, the sound of its engines carried the hope that the cargo would be delivered, people were saved, and the lost were found.

The DC-3 has many advantages. This landing gear design has a rotating wheel in the tail section, which allows the aircraft to turn around its axis in a small area. It also provided a “nose-up” fuselage arrangement, which gave the impression that the Dakota was taking off, even just 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 of the Dakota also showed themselves during military conflicts, where they played the role of ambulance, landing and cargo aircraft, and even bombers.

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 Costs: For some industrial products, such as heavy wheels and CNC machines, shipping costs are calculated based on product weight, not 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

All Sales Are Final: After 5 hours, we cannot cancel your order or issue a refund because order cancellations require reverse tariff payments and multiple shipping fees, which are very costly and time-consuming.

But we will offer an exchange for a product that has irreversible manufacturing defects or technical problems. If you purchased the wrong product, then you, as the customer, will be responsible for the re-shipping fees and tariffs.

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

Tariff: We ship directly from the country where the product is made, such as China, Italy, or Taiwan, helping you avoid or pay lower tariffs. Since we do not always ship products to you from the USA (except for products made in the USA or stocked), you will not be affected by the new tariffs imposed by the USA. Due to new tariff agreements between countries, not all products are subject to tariffs, as tariffs vary by country or 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. And so, if applicable, you, the customer, will pay the tariff in your respective country. The total amount of your order does not include a tariff, which you will pay before the delivery. We won’t issue a refund if you don’t pay the tariff.

Ships From: On this product page, check the Ships From: label to see which country we will ship this product from, because we do not ship all products from the USA; some products ship from regions like China, Taiwan, Canada, and Europe. Therefore, the tariff you pay depends on the country your order is shipped from, as not all countries charge the same tariff. 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 for you to track 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 call, text, or email. You can also click the tracking number link we emailed you to contact the shipping company and make the tariff payment, if you haven’t already.

Heads Up! We’re not responsible for parcels returned to us if you don’t pay the tariff or fail to follow up with the shipping company. As a result, if the shipping company returns the parcel to its country of origin, you will be responsible for re-shipping costs and tariff charges. We will not accept any excuses for not paying the tariff or for failing to follow up with the shipping company for the tariff, and we will not issue a refund.

Why are we not 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.
