To A Bloody Pulp Project #9: Stupid DC-3

Here's a picture of a model DC-3 I bought and put together, with one of the New Jersey Militia standing next door for scale.

It's under scale, but will do just fine for airport scenarios and rushes to get to the plane before the bad guys get you and so forth.

Although it's a year or two before its time for this campaign, the DC-3 is the most common cargo and passenger plane for the 1930's and 1940's and seemed to be the perfect "generic airplane" for pulp campaigns in general.

I called it the Stupid DC-3 because of the weird construction method--you had to assemble it with tiny screws.  The landing gear, and the Stand you could set the thing up on were non-functional (confirmed that it wasn't just me being stupid by checking the Amazon reviews).   

Still, it will do the trick for the purposes I bought it for, and was reasonably economical, far less expensive than most DC-3 standard model kits in the same scale.
