Hi, Today I've finished this scratch work, which I started exactly year ago (23 Nov 2014) . This was on WIP here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234971246-de-havilland-dh-84-dragon-and-dh-90-dragonfly-scratch-conv-172/ , togetehr with scratch build of DH 90 Dragongfly. From begining I was intending to do it as RAAF ambulance A34-54, from time when she served in New Guinea operational theater. During build I was temptated by another RAAF mashine (not ambulance) as well as by Abissynian ambulance from war agianst Italians, finally I returned to A34-54... Some photos of original were presented and details of painting schemes were discussed on WWII forum here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234991188-dh-84-raaf-ambulance-colours/. Many thanks to Forum Members who helped me - just to name Ed Russell and Magpie22 for their most valuable help. Many other collegues supported me during this build with their comments and likes. I appreciate this very much. Regarding painting scheme (colours are a bit false due to halogen light) - I decided to paint it white from beneeth since if it would be lt. blue gray it should have white circle around red cross at bottom, I think. Part of the right side numbering (especially one "4" and "A") broken during applying and I did not have a spare, so I did my best to bring it back to shape, but some problems remained... Photos are done with halogen lamp - it is not nice light. I hope I will add some daylight photos likely in week-end, if there will be enough light...I want to post it today due to this anniversary. So please excuse me not the best quality of photos. So this is the results: And a photo of my DRAGON family: DH 84 Dragon, DH 89M Dragon Rapide, DH 90 Dragonfly: And a bigger family of small de Havillands from my shelves: All were posted already here separately, but I would like to share with you with the whole set. All but DH89M were done this year. Thank you for watching Regards Jerzy-Wojtek
