Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1/400 US NAVY CURTISS R5C-1 (C-46 )COMMANDO 14 (AC411010) by Aeroclassics.

The C-46 Commando was the biggest twin-engine airplane in the world when it first flew—longer, taller and with a wider wingspan than a B-17 or B-24. To fly a C-46 was to wrestle with 20 to 26 tons of aluminium and steel, depending on the model and mods. There were pilots who said that if you could fly a C-46, you could fly anything. Others claimed that if you could taxi it, you could fly it. Still others called it a miserable ground looping sonofabitch and wanted nothing to do with it. All of the US armed forces used the aircraft both during and post WW2 with many getting second lives with commercial operators.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Gemini Jets, Phoenix Models, JC Wings and Aviation400
