Ruskin Air Services Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 This is the new-ish Airfix Dakota which takes a little while longer to build than the Esci and Italeri kits. I went through a few ideas of a scheme and ended up with this from the episode "Brave New World" where Ruskin acquires Able Victor and with the help of Peter Whitney and Duncan Mcevoy achieves his dream of starting his own airline. The real Dakota: The new Airfix kit, the style of registration letters were the closest had: Must just dirty it up bit though! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Nicely done! What a great concept for an immediate postwar scheme! It looks quite rustic--revenue counts more than fresh paint! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
