The Trimotori DC-3. Its a fitting Italeri kit which I liked, desert camouflage paints from Humbrol, model build recently with decals from other planes.

My fantasy is that the Italians seem to have had a lot of three engined planes before and in the Second World War, so they ordered from Douglas a three engined plane, but Douglas didn’t want to to much about it so they added a third engine to a DC-3 with a counterweight in the far tail.

With kind regards from M.A.D.
