goggsy Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Not the recent issue but the old ESCI/Italeri repot from the early 2000s. I'm sure this kit needs little introduction as it's been around since the late 1970s, not without its flaws but pretty decent for its age. I managed to break the windscreen so had to replace it with some jewel case. Seen in company with my Canadian Lanc and the recent Shackleton. Sorry the photos aren't great, iPad special I'm afraid. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrardandrews Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Really brilliant looking old model kit, and the others look great as well😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 That's the only scheme which belongs on a Dak in my humble opinion, but that may be a case of bias because my Dad was aircrew on them in the late '60s. RCAF rescue Daks usually had a nice big teardrop bubble window on the last window on each side for the spotters to lean out of and look straight down. There's one visible in this picture: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica, I was in Winnipeg when the last of the CAF Dakotas were retired. They were kept in pristine condition right up to the end. 12950 has the ICP Instrument Check Pilot badge on the tail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By coincidence I was taking some of my cadets on a tour through Comox when one of the retiring Daks came by (It now lives in Trenton). I wrangled a tour through it for the cadets 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 That's a very impressive Dakota. The metal finish is superb and the colour scheme really the old girl. A grand job indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4u Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Great job on an old kit the Dak always looked good in the Canadian markings along with the C-130. Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
