Alpine Rodent...1/48 DHC-2/L-20 Beaver Austrian Airforce


Recommended Posts

Besides the Austrian S-65 my dad will start another rare sight in the modelling world, an Austrian Beaver. Six aircraft were in service from 1960 to 1976.

Gonna use the one and only 1/48 Beaver kit there is from Hobbycraft together with once again decals from fellow Austrian modeller Daniel Brenter https://www.brent-air-decals.at/

You've got my interest, as the Beaver is one of my options for the 'Airfix Glorious Years' GB in June. I wasn't aware that the Ausrian AF used the Beaver.

They were lend/lease aircraft from the US. Three of them were lost in crashes killing 12 soldiers. The remaining ones were given back to the US in 1983 and are in civil service since then.
