  1. Very nicely done, especially what happened at the Nationals where you are, it's always a shame that accidents happen to a model that we took pride in building it. It also happened to me, but worst things happen in life and I was upset for 5 minutes but it had happened and there was nothing I could do.

    How different was the Devon from the Dove? Could I use these plans to build a ‘reasonably accurate’ DH Devon? (RNZAF in particular).

    There is no difference, only the internal seating might be different, the Amodel is a nice kit but the nose is a bit to pointy, the Rareplanes kit has a better nose,

    I have some nice scale drawings I can see if I can find them and scan them for you (Aviation News Volume 5 No 9)

  3. Very nice build, it goes together pretty well for a kit first released back in 1980, I had to take the rivets back on mine as they are a tad over scale, although the real aircraft is covered in them, one thing I noticed on your build is the main wheels seemed to be flared out to much, if you look at the actual aircraft, this is the one weakness of the kit as the undercarriage is quite complex, as it does not support the weight of the model to well.
