Hobartville Hobbies next 1/72nd 3D printed kit is a de Havilland DH.50 Source: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=131773769269136&id=107937924986054 3D renders V.P. -
The first DH.50 (G-EBFN) flew in August 1923 and was used within a few days by Alan Cobham to win a prize for reliability during trial flights between Copenhagen and Gothenburg and the next year to win the King's Cup Race air race. Cobham made several long-range flights with G-EBFN until he replaced it with the second DH.50 built (G-EBFO). It was re-engined with an Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar engine and was designated DH.50J. Cobham flew the aircraft on a 16,000 mile flight from Croydon to Cape Town in 1925/6. The aircraft was later fitted with twin floats for a flight to Australia in 1926, sponsored by Sir Charles Wakefield, the founder of Castrol and a noted philanthropist. A good summary of the flight is here https://www.airwaysmuseum.com/Australia & Back Cobham 1926.htm Our model club display this year was Floatplanes of the World. @Michael louey has provided pictures and commentary https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/72nd_aircraft/2024-australian-model-expo-spasm-floatplane-displa-t13452.html A surprise for the display was Dave Forsyth’s DH.50J made from his own Hobartville Hobbies kit. He had made two – one for the display (visible in the picture above) and one for his stand at Model Expo. As I had previously made a DH.50 https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235112550-de-havilland-dh50-raaf-3d-printed-model/ he kindly bequeathed one of them to me to play around with. It was very nicely built but I made a few tweaks. I re-arranged the upper and lower wing serials and added the rigging from stretched and rolled alloy wire – the insides of plastic bag ties! The paint is SMS acrylic lacquer. The dolly is generic and borrowed from my earlier DH.50. ] This particular kit is able to be made as a landplane in Qantas colours or as G-EBFO. https://www.hobartvillehobbies.com.au/product/1-72-de-havilland-d-h-50j/13 The quality of 3D printed kits continues to improve all the time.
