Hi, Next done this year (No 21, I think). This is Douglas DT 2 C, a torpedo-bomber development of Douglas DWC - a famoous long-range flight pioneering aircraft. Of course it was originally US designed but that particullar machine was of Norwegian licence production, as 7 others. Origianlly was equipped with Liberty engine (as DWC) but latter all Norwegians DT's were re-engined with Armstrong-Siddeley Panther engine. Scheme from April 1940, Norway. This "84" survived German attack on 9th April and then was captured. Was the only one DT 2 which survived Norwegian campaign. In general DT 2 took passive role in WWII - as a targets of attack. The model is scratch conversion of Williams Bros Douglas DWC. It was build within this GB: So, many photos from build are there. In general the base of AS engine comes from Broplan Hoever MF 11 ( by chance {edited - this is a rule othrewise thre will be just half of needed struts} iin my Hoever I had doubled injected parts, among them those two rows for engine! - however now it contains 49 elements), propeller is resin copy of LF Fokker CVD (doubled), MG is from Ardpol Douglas O38 E, rest of conversion iis scratch. She is here: Last two takes are with bulb light. For construction and detailing I've used help of photos from book: "Marinens flygevaapen 1912-1944" by Bjoern Hafsten and Tom Arnheim published in 2003. I've purchased it in October this year in Oslo and this made whole work possible. Many thanks for Mike @KRK4m (my Brother) for a year ago talk, which inspired me for this work. Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek P.S. Merry Christmas to everybody!
