As far as I can tell this is an Airfix reboxing of the Italeri kit rather then the ancient 'dedicated' airfix tooling

Yep, I believe it is Jelmer. We compared my Italeri kits with the Airfix boxing when Terry (Airframes) built his beautiful 'Dan Air' DC-3.
Good one Cory!

Nice, Rob! Do you build 1:72 aswell, or are you strictly 1:144?
Sounds good Rob, get in to 'em.
well, I'm seriously into airliners. so I'd say 1/144. but I have an Academy Stratocruiser here in 1/72. and I realized something....as I put the fuse of the 1/144th DC-3 next to the 1/72 DC-3, 1/144th scale is about half the size of 1/72. I know I'm a dunce for not noticing it, sooner. LOL

Er, yes Rob, exactly half size, just as 1/48th is half of 1/24th, which is half of 1/12th and so on. The 'old' scales used to be 1/64th, which led to 1/32nd scale in cars and military figures, until Tamiya decided that 1/35th should be the scale for tanks etc., which then caused many changes in modelling scales.

Rob...
Yep, Terry, got given a 1/64 F104 Starfighter back in NZ. Was the first (and last) time I'd seen anything in that scale.
