SNAFU Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) About 20 years a go I build a DHC 3 Otter in green Vietnam colors, six years a go I refurbished it in ''Artic Red'' and placed decals from ''MAX Decal'' of the British Artic Survey from end '50. It is a nice set with different Artic Otters such as Argentinian, belgian, US and British examples. I have still a few in the stash, for some arctic examples.

hurricane39 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Lovely job. Always love seeing those birds. My Dad worked at deHavilland Canada for some 35 years and I remember seeing many otters and twin otters at family day functions. Wish someone would grab those Hobby Craft molds. I wonder who has them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I saw a few of these in person, neat airplane, wish I could go for ride at least once, just money. Nice paint on this one. Maybe the Kitech ones will be a bit affordable. I know in the U.S. the Hobbycraft go for quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the kit and see a listing, I will skip it.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fast-Free-Shipping-Kitech-Brand-1-72-Scale-DHC-3-Otter-U-1A-Transport-Aircraft-Military/1585253626.html Edited January 2, 2019 by tomthounaojam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
