Well you've definitely exceded your target of mediocrity - a very smart white finish under the livery and I like the "wear and tear" effect on the non-slip coating on the floats. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I love it! I picture this taxiing on an Alaskan lake somewhere! Beautiful! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariado Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Nice work! Can I ask what makes this partly an Airfix kit? Did you use Airfix parts or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Lovely Job. I think you mean Revell/Matchbox though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the Matchbox kit - although the moulds are now owned by Revell so it is also available in a Revell boxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbay133 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Nicely done. I like that you have corrected the shape of the front screen. It looks much more convincing than the kit original shape. Graeme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxhandybread Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Enjoyed following the build on this one—you really sorted out that windscreen, it looks a million times better than the original kit. Really great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispisme Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Thanks guys! this means a lot to me! Such accomplished modellers here I’m very happy to get positive feedback!! I first built this (Matchbox) model in the mid 1990’s but it was a horrible job. I tried again with a Revell in the early 2000’s and it beat me again. My most recent failure was about 5 years ago again with the Airfix kit. The model shown here is using Matchbox wings with Revell fuselage and floats. Very happy to finally have a DHC-6 on the shelf...I believe the molds may have deteriorated from the earlier releases with the newer ones having a lot of flash, missing panel lines and sink marks. But now if I could sort out that Hobbycraft Canada DHC -8 (I’d really like to build it as a 300) I’d be tickled. Again, thanks for the feedback!

But as has been mentioned above , the Revell kit is in fact from the Matchbox toolings. Airfix have never done the Twin Otter... though I wish they would... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
