Murph's Models DC-2 Dutch Version

[MichaelS]

Beautiful job my friend. I have Murph's Pan Am Grace version waiting impatiently in my build list. Your build certainly moves it forward.

I chose to model it in it's earlier version, with just one pitot tube and a cable VHF antenna. To make the modern version, use two pitot tubes and place a modern style VHF antenna on top of the fuselage. Also a red rotating beacon is located atop the aft fuselage on the modern airplane.

The only error in the kit is the small prop holders that attach between the prop shaft and the propellers. The top round piece is attached to the bottom of the piece. Just snip it off and put it on top where it belongs. I had a bit of trouble getting the wing to fuselage fairing positioned correctly. The left side fitted well, but the right side doesn't fit high enough on the fuselage.

Another mistake is the pitch on the right propeller. It is reversed. No American aircraft have had, as far as I know, propellers with reverse pitch. Easy to correct.
