bigbadbadge Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Great to see all the lovely Dakota models , they are all lovely,great work everyone. Some great memories of watching these flying in and out of Lydd Airport in the 70s and 80s , we would stand in the corner of the school field and they would almost fly over us on approach. That was Skyways and Air Atlantique machines if I recall. Great work everyone Thanks for sharing and reigniting those memories. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are that much too long and the engines will look better ending up a bit further forward. I have done this to most of my builds of the same kit.

Orso Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Thanks for the tip. My next DC-3 will be in 1/72 if I manage to arrange the markings for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
