adrianm2 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Morning Gals and Lads: Here comes the first one of this year (hopefully not the last). The good old Matchbox tooling of the Twin Otter depicting a Chilean machine operating from Antarctica circa 1985. I added the antennas, air scoop, wind screen wipers plus some safety ropes and struts for the skis. I leave you a few pictures: I hope you like it. Cheers Adrian 54 1

BKirwan Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Adrian That looks fantastic. Great colours and refined detail from an old Matchbox kit. Were those Maxdecals that you used by any chance? Regards Brian 1
Challenger350Pilot Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Really like this a lot. Job well done. 1
Bullbasket Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 As an AFV modeller, I usually scroll through other types of models and click LIKE as is appropriate, but every now and then something appears such as this, which demands more. That is a truly superb rendition of the old Matchbox kit, and such an unusual colour scheme. Nice one. John. 1
Pagey Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Nice. Thought it was a red arrows what if at first 😁 1
Greg Law Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Very nicely done and attention to detail makes it stand out. 1
cngaero Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 That's a fine looking Twin Otter and a very smart colour scheme. 1
hurricane39 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Lovely job on deHavilland Canada's finest. 1
Orion Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Hello Adrian, You are a great modeler. Turning this old kit into such a beautiful color-bird takes a lot of effort. Just like Kirwan I would like to know some more regarding the decals and your choice of paint. Regards, Orion 1
adrianm2 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Posted February 5, 2019 Thank you Gents for your kind words. They are very much appreciated @BKirwan and @Orion, The decals I used came from a generic set of numbers and insignias FACH. I`ve got MaxDecals for a couple of helicopters I`ve got in the queue, they are very nice. The colour scheme and detail pictures/drawing came from a great little dossier published by "Ediciones Multimodel" It really is a gem it does not only give you pictures but also detail drawing and colours used in FS. @Pagey you are so right on the Red Arrows look a like, you cracked me up! Cheers Adrian
kapam Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Wow! Looks fantastic. The aerial rigging really sets it off - testament to your talents as a modeller!
LeoRuffo Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Hello adrian! A pleasure to greet you, first of all, say that your model is spectacular, I am new to the blog and I am impressed your model, I am Chilean and I am putting together the model of revell DHC-6 Twin Otter and I would like to know what colors you used in the model, if it is not a problem for you. Stay tuned for your comments... Greetings!!!😁 Leo R.
SAT69 Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 All of the above praise is well deserved and I fully agree with all of it. Very well done.
