Relive the early days of Japanese civil aviation with this historically accurate decal set for the Douglas DC-3 A in the original All Nippon Airways (ANA) livery from 1965.
All Nippon Airways launched its DC-3 operations in the late 1950s, connecting regional destinations across Japan during a pivotal period in the country's post-war aviation history. The classic white fuselage with the distinctive early ANA markings reflects an era when propeller-driven airliners defined domestic air travel in Japan — a livery rarely reproduced and highly sought after by vintage aviation modelers
In regards to the ANA DC-3s with English titles, - this was applied to one aircraft only - JA5072. She was leased to Nakanihon Air Service for a short period in the mid- '60s and received the revised titles upon her return to ANA.
This decal set captures every detail of the originalJA5072 1965 livery: fuselage titles, registration markings, tail insignia, and cabin windows — all faithfully reproduced from historical photographic and archival references.
