This is a beautiful RC model of DC-3 / C-47 in. Flugfélag Íslands (Air Iceland) operated DC-3´s from 1946-1972 in this color scheme.
The builder of this model is Sturla Snorrason. See his work on the DC-3 here:
rcsturla.com. Email: sturlasnorrason@gmail.com.
Here is Sturla´s description:
"This model is more than a simple piece of shiny real aluminium work. It's in perfect 1/8 scale, nose, engine house, tail, length and wings are all in 1/8 scale. It has the right airflow for all the steerings so it has realistic flight. It was made by my own design, as all other designs I found out there were out of scale on some parts, and as a big enthusiast of this plane that wasn't simply good enough for me. It was an incredible experience to see it take it's first flight back in 2014, it took total of fifteen flights. Since then the aluminium has been polished and it's interior decorated. I've spent over 1500 hours on making the model and around half that time went on the aluminium alone. Now it's fully finished and ready to fly again".
He has also made a 1/8 scale PBY Catalina. He is selling blueprints and custom made landing gear. The song is "The Engagement" by Silent Partner. I got it from the youtube library non copyrighted.

That model has to be one of the best I have ever seen - what a craftsman!
I never saw a better scale model...the scenery is spectacular too. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful. Cant say anything else. Beautiful.
That's a superb model. The start of the left motor there sounded just like the real thing! I can only imagine the dedication that went in to building this wonderful Aircraft. Amazed at how real these RC models look.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️
Thank you. www.rcsturla.is is the RC builder.
I have lived by an airport for 67 years. I used to see and hear DC3s several times a day throughout the 50s-late 60 early70s. My favorite plane. Noisey as heck but very graceful and one of the most reliable ever built. A real workhorse. I got to go on one for a grade school field trip. Very steep narrow aisle. That's the coolest flying model I have ever seen! Thank you!
Wonderful! Love Iceland. Love DC-3s.
Ok you had me, i was like those are some small radial engines. Great sound mix
wait those arent actual gas engines?? but what about the smoke? sorry im new to airplanes
SouthFlaDiver Go on line to OS engines o Saito . They do make 3 , 5 , 7 and 9 cylinder 4 cycle engines .
the model: first in class. the pilot: huevos grande. well done sir. was truly thrilling to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
As an old man... who grew up in the 80s flying RC, this brings tears to my eyes.
Nostalgic
the skin and the gear are so detailed - it could pass for the real thing. a magnificent work of craftmanship. thank you for sharing!
How could anyone not like such a cool thing, but I see 17 poor, misdirected souls don't. May they increase their fiber intake and feel better soon. What a great airplane. Well done!
It's up to EIGHTY people who don't like this. WTF?
They are probably just jealous that they can't do something like that.
It is a very cool thing.
105 dimwits who spent the time watching and decided they didn't like this. What's not to like?
its 107 now.
I have just watched your video before going to bed.
What a perfect way to end a day.
Sublime RC model, and video presentation Mr. Snorrason.
MSFS FS2002-4, FSX.
The skin detailing on this gorgeous model is nothing short of remarkable. My favorite prop plane, and now, my favorite plane model. Very well done!
What beautiful workmanship. Stunning!
Elite micro-engineering coupled with a very highly skilled R/C operator. The landing was sublime. BRAVO! 👍
What a beautiful model. It doesn't hurt any that I love that particular airplane anyway.
My God - What a magnificent Airplane & a fantastic job you did on it ! TRULY AMAZING ! Thanks so much.
Very very very great RC DC-3... GREAT JOB.. BEAUTIFUL..
Beautiful detail. Even the engines sound right when it starts up.I always enjoyed flying in them in the 60's in Australia.
Outstanding!! I love it when people don't forget that beautiful plane. Goes to show, Douglas had a damn great idea. Thank you for the video!!
If we ever discover a race of 1/8th people, they are going to be so happy!

Wow what an awesome model and also the scenery with the mountains and snow are so beautiful !
Absolutely gorgeous. Had me fooled at first with the engine noise. Loved it. Congrats to the builder.
Damn! Real, movable flaps and retractable gear! Amazing, beautiful. Thank you.
I've flown in DC3's in central America during the 1970's, many were used as short haul services in those days and I believe there's still a few left. I would trust a DC3 over a Boeing 777 anyday, maybe a little noisy and not so fast but not much in the way of electronic gizmo's to go wrong and less likely of falling out of the sky.
The model is absolutely beautiful and a huge credit to it's builder.
Very nice. A beautiful area too, horseback riding and gorgeous mountains. 👍
An absolutely beautiful aircraft in all aspects and masterful craftsmanship. Thank you for the video!
I really marvel your skills the way you have made this model taking care of even the smallest details. Hats off to yuo!
Beautiful replica, amazing detail. Liked the actual radial engine sound in the beginning, chills!
My dad flew D-3's fantastic airplane. Magnificent model. Bravo!
Wow, absolutely perfect and wonderful model.
its a nice plane :) good job on the detail modeling and it flys really good
Excellent model of the greatest plane ever built. I want one!!
Man, that thing is beautiful. No way I would ever chance flying it.
A beautiful tribute to the most beautiful aircraft ever built.
Fooled me with the sound when they fired up the #1 engine lol
me too!
Me too! Dang..
Yep. Right there with ya.
@@Nick-wn1xw Me too. I was hugely impressed for a moment there.
Me too
Funny, that startup had me going there for a second. Finally realized they'd dubbed a real radial over it.
Beautiful craftsmanship on the construction. Fantastic detailing.
Beautiful airplane, and great modelling.
I thought he had dubbed in the original engine sounds a couple of times. What a beautiful piece of work. Why 273 misguided people took the effort to click on the thumbs down is a mystery to me.
Certainly one of the finest models ever made of one of the finest aircraft ever made. Well done 👍
What a beautiful thing to behold ! Absolutely marvellous ! Well done Sir !
a great model, of a fantastic airplane.
One my favorite planes. A great demonstration of your craft
Gorgeous! My favorite airplane and such a fantastic model!
Superb workmanship, and in aluminium too! Please don’t crash it.
Outstanding craftsmanship,flying, detail, everything!

Not sure which I like better, the truly amazing plane or the scenery in Iceland. You're fortunate to have the beautiful background.
Excellent model. My first ever flight was in one of these in New Zealand 1965!
I have crashed so many models when I was young.... Thank YOU very much for the model and for the video.
Very beautiful dc3 very good flying
Guys what an awesome job, that is truly amazing, landing gear flaps all work. The detail with the sheet metal finish shows the dedication. Thank you for sharing.
Love that sound! Fly overs sound like the real thing!!! Really well done and BEAUTIFUL model!
Thank you, very very cool! Nice people, beautiful Iceland, great plane! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for the good video without crappy music to ruin the sound of the model, you tastefully added the sound of a real radial engine for great effect at the perfect time without over doing it, well done. Also great looking scale build.
Most accurate flying model of the elegant DC-3 I have ever seen, truly magnificent. And such an elegant colour scheme as well.
It is beautiful artwork by the model builder Sturla Snorrason www.rcsturla.com
Wow simply beautiful and so was the scenery I tip my hat to you sir
This puppy has CHARACTER. Beautiful model. A+++ !!!
Gorgeous model aircraft. Great flying skills and sceneries
Oh mein Gott, das ist ein wunderschönes Flugzeug! Das Detail ist unglaublich!
When living in Kenai Alaska we would fly to Anchorage in a DC-3. This was in the early 60's. What a great airplane it was. Shalom
Great model. I had a lifetime pleasure of flying in one ten years ago in Sydney, Australia. A 50th Birthday present!
man you made me cry! I only played copilot on a family member dc-3 over 40 years ago in the Caribbean, but it was the plane that impressed me the most in my life. I'm always watching the alaska videos and all dc-3 video but having a little model of the real thing really is great. You are a lucky man :)!
malanga13 Thank you. There is something nostalgic about the DC-3
Love the DC-3 too. Watch all the videos but never had a chance to fly one although I have flown IN one.☺
Nice, very nice indeed...love the addition of the real sounds too.
Stunning video! Great craftsmanship, great piloting,great photography! Have no idea what a project like this costs but, if you have the money, it's WORTH IT! Very inspiring.
A wonderfully built craft. Congratulations
Nice video of your model DC3! Flew in one many times when I was in the RCAF! A real old work horse for us back then!
WOW! What an awesome model and tribute to a historic icon. I've never seen better craftsmanship!
Nice job. Such a classic airliner the DC-3
Fantastic detail plus superb piloting. I rode in 3's countless times! Tail-Dragger "Heavy". Thanks to the builder/pilot!
The DC-3 is my all time favorite civilian aircraft. It also served in the military as the C-47 from WWII, post war with The United States Air force's Strategic Air Command, Vietnam as gun ships, and was still being flown by the Air Force until 2008.
Beautiful bird you built. Polished aluminum, great paint details. Been around these planes for over 35 years and never stop staring at them
Thanks for sharing your passion
Wow! Beautiful just Beautiful!
Best model hands down that I have ever seen flying, the attention to detail is incredible.
Outstanding model!
Incredible attention to detail!
Definitivamente excelentemente espectacularrrr, muchas felicitaciones desde Venezuela
A true thing of beauty. I hope it's still flying today.
Yes it is still flying rcsturla.com/

Beautiful model. Realistic.
Beautiful, nice work.
What a beautiful thing! My God! DC-3 is my passion. Congratulations! You're a HAPPY guy!
WOW!! What a beautiful aircraft. One of my favorites. Great job with the finish.
Splendide réalisation ,l'aluminium , l'apparence du rivetage , dire que cet avion m'a ramené de madagascar en France en 1960 je m'y revoyait en regardant cette vidéo !
Cool DC-3 Sturla...nice work .... watching the video down here in TEXAS
Simply magnificent . Congrats !
Awesome little C 47
A superb flying model. My first flight ever was in a DC3 of Aer Lingus from Birmingham to Dublin in 1952 when I was a schoolboy. Now that brings back memories. Many thanks.
Absolutely beautiful, very well done to you.
Beautiful model! Great flight......Beautiful scenery of Iceland as well!! I did some training for Icelandair back in 1985. Great memories!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Unbelievable ,i feel the tears rolling down on my face during the video ,thanks a lot for that so emotional moment , rené from france ,an DC 3 lover
Just AMAZING!!! Congrats!
I flew the real DC-3 and this RC Pilot landed his plane exactly the way I landed the real one, using a wheel landing instead of a full stall. Great job! And the model looks exactly like the real airplane. Spectacular!
Brilliant. You had me with the sound aswell when you started it up. Great detailing. 👍
What an amazing project.
...what a "rush" Sturla must get 'flying' this craft !! 3 cheers !!
Beautiful plane. Watched this many times. Thanks Hugh
Glad you enjoyed it. Have you seen this video? By the same builder. ua-cam.com/video/gsFt4rlynkU/v-deo.html
Outstanding!
Carole Lombard’s DC 3 still rests on a Nevada mountain top, pilot error, her wedding ring was never found.
@Alan Cogan in Buddy’s head or in Richies?
@Alan Cogan Van Guard is a gentleman. That means he does not have a smart-ass mouth like you.
Loved the mix of model and real, excellent.
Man, that was so cool! Congratulations...
What a *MARVELOUS WORK*
