Luftwaffe Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Really a beauty. When the gear retracts, what happens to the skis? Is there a spare place for them at the bottomside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggers Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hoo-hoo,you naughty man,I have the kit,but there's an FAA Vampire T.22 and a Seafire 46 that need finishing and an FAA Airfix Tiger Moth to do ahead of the Dak. I had to have a leer and lick at it again today. Lovely job Rich. For those of you that are wondering,if you Youtube "Ice Pilots series1"there's and episode where they fit the same skis to one of the Daks,you'll see how it all goes with u/c retracted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
