Hi modellers. I finally finished this one. The Revell (Matchbox) 1/72 DHC-6 Twin Otter in Air Greenland livery. It was supposed to be a quick build, but along the way i learned that a lot of work has to be put into this old kit. It is built mainly out of the box with a little scratch building regarding the wheels and antenners. Sanding, filling and pollishing was time consuming, and i built it in stages in between other builds. It is painted with Vallejo red and the decals are from Lima November Decals. They performed really well. I have not cracked the code to airbrushing a gloss clear coat, so i brush painted Gauzy varnish and pollished it with Tamiya pollishing compound. I did not correct the wind screen issue and unfortunately some dust found it’s way to the clear parts after the whole thing was assembled. Anyway. Here it is, and i think it turned out ok. I hope you like it 🙂

de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters 1:72 Iliad Designs (72015A) de Havilland of Canada had their work cut out to replace the DHC-3 Beaver. They did this successfully with the DHC-6 Twin Otter. This is an excellent Short Take Off & Landing Aircraft with the additional range and safety of a Twin engined aircraft. Over 890 aircraft have been built finding homes with many civilian and Military operators around the world. This new sheet from ILIAD is for the DHC-6 300 as kitted by Revell. 6 different aircraft can be built from the sheet; FAE 449 of the Ecuadorian Air Force. C-FCSU as operated by Transport Canada in the coastal anti pollution role. UV-18A 76-22565 as operated by The US Army (be advised this has the short nose). 65-CT as operated by The French Air Force as part of the Multinational Force & Observers unit in the Sinai. HB-LRR As operated by The International Committee of the Red Cross in Algeria and Afghanistan in 2004. S/n 1730 Guatemalan Air Force. The decals look excellent, well printed, colour dense and with minimal carrier film. The white does look dense enough to go over the all red finish of the Canadian example. Conclusion These decals will add something to the already great Revell kit. Highly Recommended. Review sample courtesy of -
DHC-6 Twin Otter Update Sets 1:72 AeroCraft Models While the available kit is a good one, it leaves room for improvement which Ali has now addressed. New cockpit Set This is a complete new cockpit section with the windows cast in clear resin with correctly proportioned windows. As well as the lower part there is also a new cockpit bulkhead. Tail Planes Set Most of the versions of the kit suffer from sink/shrink marks in the tail planes and this is a quick drop in replacement for these parts. Engine Upgrade Set This is a new set of engine fronts for a more realistic look, with new spinners and new prop blades. These can now be properly set as feathered when the aircraft is shut down. The casting of the parts is upto Ali's usual high standards. Highly recommended to bring your Twotter up a notch. Review samples courtesy of
