All it needs now is a Beaver to go with it 😉 Chuck in an Otter and a Twin Otter and hopefully the Auster family . Many years ago I watched Captains of the Clouds, a Canadian WW2 Flag Waver with Jimmy Cagney. Left me with a fondness for Hudsons, Yellow Harvards and Canadian Bush Planes. 5 1

Hobo Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Thank you Dora for all of your interesting subject matter - I love the variety. I'll definitely pick up your Norseman. Any chance of including Israeli Air Force decals? I also support the suggestion of a Max Holste Broussard. There are many privately owned Broussards with beautiful schemes. 2

I haven't decided yet for sure, but we'll try to cover as many options as possible. Perhaps it will be several themed boxes. 5
TEXANTOMCAT Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 A military Broussard would be great- the weapons fit is hilarious - FN (or even MG42!) door gun and a bomb rack made out of dexion and two bits of wood - its in the manual! TT 3

RAF4EVER Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I am working on a real Norseman 2 days a week.😃 7

Army_Air_Force Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 The Norseman was a favourite of mine and my dad. We built a semi-scale radio controlled version back in 1993 as a large trainer for him. I built the 1/72 Matchbox one for him a few years ago. I'm yet to see anyone else build one of my Broussard kits, despite around two dozen being shipped around the world!! 9
Homebee Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 3D renders in progress Source: https://www.facebook.com/dorawingsofficial/posts/3007866692777221 V.P. 11
Vingtor Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Seems to be partly a Mk.IV and partly a Mk.VI (UC-64). Same mistake as Matchbox did. Needs corrections to do either variant.

Wrong. Any differences will be taken into account. Different fuselages, landing gear, etc. Two different models. These are only preliminary, general renders so far. 5
Paul J Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Still very much looking forward to this irrespective of mark numbers!! But a Beaver and a DHC-3 Otter would be fantastic. The Otter especially as the old Hobbycraft one has lots of inconsistencies. Cabin window spacing undersize fuselage... A Vazar one would be nice too😉 1
stevehnz Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 Looking good, I'll be up for one for sure. Now about that Broussard....... Steve.
Branky Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 There is a resin Broussard in the pipeline but if Dora Wings will do an injection moulded one we better stop the preparations. 1

Hands up, Stephen. I keep meaning to start her but I want to do her justice and so I've been hanging on. I just acquired a decal set, altheough I might be looking for an alternative. Rest assured that she IS on my build list Martin 1

I agree, an injection one would be preferrable, and I do have Stephen's excellent resin kit. Nevertheless, I'm not comfortable with too much resin in my banana-like fingers. Something is liable to break! Now, back on subject ....... This is great new kit Martin

ForestFan Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 Looking great! Once done any chance of a DHC-2 Beaver in 1/72 or 1/48? 1

Admiral Puff Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 A good DHC-2 in either/both scales would be great. Lots of Australian civil markings ... 2
Vingtor Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Looks very good! The rudder trim tab seems to be of the Mk.VI type, though. But that should be easy to fix.
