Soviet Union got DC-3 licence long before war and produced them forst under PS-84 designation.They weren't direct copies of DC-3 either as Soviets didn't have machinery and technical capabilities to produce it. Lots of changes were done and plane was modifies and simplified much further as war went on. Li-2 is very different plane or a "variation on theme" if you will.
I'm looking forward to this since I haven't seen many Li-2 builds at all.
