Ruskin Air Services Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 This one sat on the corner of the bench for at least a year semi completed. So after building the old Airfix AC47 and posting here someone noticed this one sitting forlornly in the background so as promised I decided to finish it off. 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I do believe that's the best looking Dakota I've ever seen. You worked magic on an old kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbay133 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Very nice. I remember seeing Air Anglia's Dakotas at Aberdeen in the late 60's / early 70's, when I was a mad, spotty spotter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ah, she's a beaut! The only replacement for a DC-3 is another DC-3! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ah yes, very nice. Always one of my favourites. Although a different reg, I had my first flight in an Air Anglia DC3 at Greenham Common in 1974. Here she is taxiing past the tower... 46214859581_6d82469688_b 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Very nice looking model. I have always liked the AA colour scheme and your model does it proud. I remember them coming in and out of Cambridge in the 70's- along with Air Turas Bristol Freighters- interesting times- soon to be no more as they plan to close Cambridge and turn it into housing estates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Nicely done! I've built this kit and really enjoyed it, but never been happy with the windscreen's fit. Yours is really beautiful! You've inspired me to do another! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Splendid job on that vintage kit. The nostalgic halo of the plane beautifully captured. I have this and the new Airfix kits in the pile, waiting for their time. Inspiring build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
