_alfisti_ Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi guys. I want to show you my latest finished build. It´s the Special Hobby Do 27 in 1:72 scale, a realy nice and well made kit. My modell shows the swedish version, Fpl 53, a Do 27A-4. Sweden got five Fpl 53 delivered in 1962. Three of them were lost in accidents, the remaining two were retired in 1991. The fitting of the kit is nearly perfect and the details are very nice. I only added the seatbelts and some foil for the cabin lagging. The steps from the kit, the exhaust pipes and some antennas were also replaced. The modell is painted with Gunze H309, decals came from different aftermarket sheets. I hope you like the little Swede.

Spitfire31 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Beautiful little model with superb detailing and finish! The display looks very good as well in its simplicity. It was interesting to read in Wikipedia that the third accident involving the "Doan", as it was nicknamed in Swedish, was due to a parachutist accidentally opening his chute in the plane, which became unmanoevrable and crashed, killing the pilot. Perhaps that is also what happened to the crash of the GippsAero GA8 Airvan in Umeå, Sweden, a couple of weeks ago, which killed eight skydivers and the pilot. Kind regards, Joachim 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Joachim Yes, I also read about it. The parachutist on the Fpl 53 got the luck to survive, saddly on the GA8 no one made it out.
