description=The DC-7C was a complete redesign abandoning the wing of the DC-4 allowing a further substantial increase in fuel and oil capacity. Updated engines gave slightly more power for take off and climb, but since the DC-7C was 17,000lbs heavier than the DC-7B performance was significantly reduced. This aircraft, purchased by 'Alitalia' during 1957, operated as passenger liner until 1961, when was trasformed in DC-7F. Original model by TOM GIBSON and GREG PEPPER. This repaint of the DC-7C in 'Alitalia' livery is by Manuele Villa.
