Skids Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Like it alot, top job Alf, always had a soft spot for the Dak (flew in an Air Atlantique one at Airshow many moons ago - awesome)
Paul J Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 As a Dak fan, seeing your model of 'MPO reminds me osf a flight I had in this aircraft when it was with Eastern back in the mid 70's. I like the addition of the wooden control lock blocks. A nice touch. Well done.
Max Headroom Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Like it alot, top job Alf, always had a soft spot for the Dak(flew in an Air Atlantique one at Airshow many moons ago - awesome) Stunning build and a lovely paint job! I flew in G-AMPO from Liverpool to the airshow in St. Mawgen in 1982/3. It shed a piston whilst doing local 'jollies'. Me and everyone else kicked our heels for several hours following the end of the show whilst a spare piston was flown in from elsewhere. The pilot auctioned the old piston on the flight home. Big b****r (piston not the pilot!). MH
Kev1n Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 very nice - I have a stash of these, so hopefully when I get around to building one (or more) it'll look as good
smeds Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Flew in 'PO' back in the 80's at RAF Brawdy, have to say, one of the smoothest flights I've ever had
woody37 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Had a fly of G-AMYJ many years ago from Blackpool over to Ireland when I was doing a flying scholarship. From what I can gather, that's the one now residing at Elvington in a miltary scheme. Loved the smell of the thing, it smelt classic !
cuprar Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I remember going up in one with the same markings at north weald airshow when I was about 10. Great model tho Alf
Alf 64 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Many thanks for the kind comments guys, glad it brought back some good memories. Hi Kev1n - Ray at Two Six has decals of this stripy scheme for the whole Air Atlantique fleet, and there's a whole heap of room for internals, Two Six Edited June 30, 2011 by Alf 64
Kev1n Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 I'll get round to them....one day actually there's a GB coming up so I put myself down for two of them
