1/48 DHC-3 Otter Hobbycraft VH-SBQ TAA Sunbird


Recommended Posts

Evening All 

As promised here is my 1/48 DHC Otter . I will be using the Hobbycraft kit with Hawkeye decals for VH-SBQ operated by TAA on Sunbird services in PNG until written off 

This aircraft was previously with QANTAS as VH-EAW. Hope to start soonish 

Thanks for looking in

I found the same decal sheet at our local comp on the weekend in 1/72. Just need to find the kit in the stash now.

..and now I have found the kit :D

Nice to see  a 48th one on the go. Are you going to rearrange the passenger windows? They need to be more evenly spaced apart rather than how they are done on the kit. I did this mod in 1/72nd and it worked out well. Just a bit of planning on how to and some minor surgery.

Hi All 

Just a quick update Decals started but I got the port demarcation wrong requiring a quick touch up . All that is needed now are the rest of the decals and final assembly in the next six hours ;)
