C18S American Passenger Aircraft 1/48 ICM Models

One of the most successful and famous aircraft in world aviation history was the Beech Model 18, nicknamed Twin Beech. It was designed as a light, twin engine, 6-8 seat passenger aircraft. The maiden flight was in January 1937. With the entry of the US into WWII, the Air Force began to feel the need for a light military transport plane and in 1943 Beechcraft was issued an order for the production of 1522 improved C18S models. Some of these were used after WWII as civil passenger planes.
