fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 A colorful Moth (The building post can be visited here): The same comments made for the Avis seaplane version apply: So I will just copy and paste the relevant ones: The generic sprues will allow you to put some nice little things on the spares bin. I commissioned for this model a special set from Arctic Decals as I wanted to do something different, and it did not disappoint! . I really like many of the Avis/Amodel subjects, and greatly compliment them on the release of a variety of attractive, mysterious, significant and beautiful civil planes. I have bought many, as a way to support their civil choices. Their moldings are delicate enough, the parts count satisfying, the level of detail generous, and the subjects as said wonderful. One can tell that the masters were good, but...the short-run nature of the molding process unfortunately affects much of the good, rendering the fit vague to say the least, and frankly bad in many cases. The engineering is not always the best, and the chunky nature of some of the resulting parts forces you to much cleaning and adjusting, and dry-fit is an absolute must. I have another boxing of the DH60 by Avis -or clone Amodel- somewhere in the stash, as there are many colorful schemes that you can see around documented on the Net. This one is not an easy kit, for a variety of reasons, but with time, patience, some proper swearing and stiff drinks it may become a nice model. 39 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Ranger Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Beautiful! Reminds me of a Monarch butterfly. And the registration is a perfect description of many of us modelers, if you get my drift. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I've seen the actual aircraft a few times and your model totally does it justice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, unlike all these past years, have been just a handful of them. No surprise given the cumulative effect of four years of environmental protections taken away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengalensis Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Such a beautiful machine in those colours. They go very well together, especially with the black outlining. A master piece of modelling it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That is an object of great beauty Moa & not too dissimilar to the DH.60 flown by Peter Finch Hatton of "Out of Africa" fame, that I have plans for, the real one, not the movie one, Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Steve. It's based on a still existing and flying plane, of which many photos can be found online for reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
