⚠️ PRE-ORDER — Ships when stock arrives. Reserve yours today. Corgi Models' 1:72 scale AC-47 Spooky captures one of aviation's most storied fire support platforms. This detailed die-cast model represents "Spooky 086," the Douglas AC-47 Gunship that recently joined the Commemorative Air Force's Gulf Coast Wing fleet in Texas. Originally built as a C-47B in 1944 and later converted to an R4D-6 by the US Navy, this aircraft exemplifies the remarkable adaptability that made the C-47 platform legendary. The AC-47's ability to loiter over a battlefield, circling and concentrating fire, made it an effective early counterinsurgency aircraft during the Vietnam War era. The markings on this model pay tribute to 86 individual AC-47 crew members who gave their lives in service. A fitting tribute to those who flew these gunships and the enduring legacy of the aircraft that served with distinction. Perfect for aviation historians, scale model collectors, and anyone who appreciates the engineering and courage behind America's military heritage. Includes Diecast Model, cradle, Display Base, and Limited Edition Certificate
