Step back into the historic skies of June 6, 1944, with the SkyMarks Douglas C-47 Skytrain "Stoy Hora". Strikingly sized at a generous 1:80 scale, this premium solid-body plastic model honors one of the most significant transport aircraft of World War II. Bearing tail number 42-92717 and coded 8Y-S, the real-world "Stoy Hora" was the spearhead of the invasion. Flying as the lead aircraft of the 45-ship formation for the 440th Troop Carrier Group, it dropped paratroopers of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions directly behind enemy lines into the pitch-black night over Normandy during Operation Overlord. For military history buffs, WWII collectors, and classic aviation enthusiasts, this model isn't just a display piece—it is a tangible tribute to the "Gooney Bird" that helped liberate Europe. This true to scale model features solid injection molded plastic construction with highly detailed graphics. Great for collectors with authentic markings and designs. The snap-fit design allows for easy assembly. All models include a display stand. Model is approximately 9 ¾ inches long with 13 ¼ inch wingspan.
