Douglas DC-3 Finnair 1967 1:1

Originally posted by Wikipedia:

The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner which had a lasting effect on the airline industry in the 1930s/1940s and World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with conventional landing gear, powered by two radial piston engines.

OH-LCH was built in Santa Monica, California, and completed on Christmas Eve 1942. Originally OH-LCH was ordered for Pan American Airways, but because of WWII the plane was given to the US Armed Forces. Later after the war the plane was bought by the Finnish state's airline, Aero, later Finnair, and it operated between 1948 and 1970. OH-LCH flew its last passenger flight for Finnair in 1967. After the service for Finnair, it was sold for the Finnish Air force, and in 1985 it was decided to retire all DC-3's from the Air force, and OH-LCH, along with OH-LCD were sold to Airveteran OY. OH-LCH is still flying for heritage flights for Airveteran, and OH-LCD is a museum piece at the Finnish Aviation Museum. OH-LCH is also the last airworthy DC-3 in Finland.


This is my 1:1 scale Stormworks rendition of the Douglas DC-3 in 1967 Finnair livery. It has been redesigned from my Douglas C-47 Skytrain and thus shares many similarities with it. It's exterior and livery are as close as I could get them to the real life counterpart, but it should be noted that the interior and the cockpit, although similar to the real aircraft, are not authentic. In the big picture, I'm very happy with how this remodel turned out.

I sincerely hope you enjoy playing with this aircraft as much as I enjoyed building it.
