"Raven" Turbo Beaver from Design Group Alpha
This was a beta build of Design Group Alpha's newest livery in their series of Turbo Beaver kits. Wingspan is just about twelve inches. I spent about 20 hours building the kit. I added toothpick spars in the horizontal and vertical tail and stripwood spars in the wings. And I added an extra layer of cardstock to the rudders--probably the most fragile parts of the model. Otherwise, it's "straight out of the box." The kit should be available soon at ecardmodels.com. Other liveries are available now in turbo and recip models.
The floats were much easier to build than I expected. DGA's design makes it easy to construct a sturdy and good-looking float. I found the instructions generally very good. They were a bit vague in a few areas, but photos of the finished kit made up for it. As with all of the DGA Turbo Beaver kits, those photos will be posted with the kits. The artwork is excellent, fit of the parts is very good to excellent, and the finished model is eye-catching. The kit includes options for floats, skis, and conventional landing gear. I think I'll pick one of the other liveries and scale it up to 1/32.

C-FETN 'The Raven'
David!
Thank you for the build, feedback, and photos! 'The Raven' is a very striking livery on a Turbo Beaver. Gary's [MacSongLi's] skill capturing it and getting all of the paint lines aligned is remarkable. Your building skill is excellent and I especially like your photography!
