Viking Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I look forward to seeing this progress. Takes me back to the 70's when I first bought this kit when it was released, all the options - wheels, floats, skis. Happy memories! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Great choice Patrice, the Beaver is a superb aircraft and the Airfix kit is still a good one. I like the work you have done so far, up to your usual high standard. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Looks good Patrice. I’ve never built an Airfix Beaver - I must have built most of the rest of the series 1 to 3 kits as a kid - and it looks like quite a nice kit for its age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning Zebra Thank you for your comment ... I also built most of the Airfix kits when I was a kid .. Yes it is a nice kit but I think that we need a more modern representation of this aircraft .. Best Regards Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
