Hi, everybody! Let me present you my next model. Here I use standard techniques, but there is one innovation - dowelled antenna made of mustache of my pet rabbit. The rabbit's tendril fell out by itself, I did not pull it out)).

Great build.  And a very nice finish. I used whiskers that my cats used to moult for whip aerials  so you are not the only one to use your pets as a modelling aid.  I love the rivetting detail ; its such a prominent feature of the Dakota airframe

That's really smart looking--it's as if you shrank the real aircraft!  How did you get the passenger window gun-ports to look so good?  I tried using the kit-supplied decals, but was unhappy with them.  Did you use a clear-gloss over the windows after applying decals?

Beautiful job, the detail in the U/C bays and engines is just great.:like:  (Like the film industry, I think you should have had a disclaimer at the end of your intro, No rabbits were harmed in the making of this model 😄).

I used a set of decals from "Foxbot", and spanked some "futura" varnish on top.

This model is exceptionally interesting and well done, even looking at your own high standards. I will look for these Foxbat decals, I think... Gratulations!
