DeHavilland Otter models DGA

I am beginning to build all of DGA's models of the venerable DHC-3 Otter. I am doing this so that I will have a picture of built models for when the models can be released on Ecardmodels. The first Otter is that of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition. Model livery by Guido Van Roy.

Very nice build! Colorful....

Excellent! I look forward to seeing more.

I finally did build the Vietnam-era Otter you sent me so long ago.

Eventually, I hope to build more. Thanks for making all those Beavers and Otters available, Jim.

Don, I am collecting photos of DGA models to use as cover photos when we are back to distributing them on Ecardmodels. Typically I hold the model by the tail with tweezers in front of distant scenery, and I crop my hand out of the picture. If you still have your Otter model, would you take a photo or two for me?

Beautiful work and wonderful photos Jim!

The next one which I built is a new livery that was sent to me by YukonJohn

Jim - I still have the model and will, when time permits, unpack it and take a photograph.

Someday, I hope to build the 18th Aviation Company bird and the one in Navy white and orange.

Did you not also do 76135: the one at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum in white and high visibility markings? I seem to recall that the Museum curator crawled over the airplane to measure the markings for you, but perhaps that's a false memory.

I did work with the staff at the museum, but it was to detail olive colored models. The white and orange scheme might be one I need to tackle in the future.
