DHC-6-300 Seaplane
After eight months of work, this morning my DHC-6-400 hidro has been finished.
The model is easy to assemble, in fact it could be finished in one-two days. The problem was that I had so many real life things to do that I couldn't work doing the alpha and beta test. But now is uploaded! The DHC-6 has a lot of very colorfull schemes. This is one that everybody that have seen it have loved it. I'm planing to repaint at least 60 different versions, with two kinds of floats, long and short nose, seaplane, amphibian and fire-bomber, two kind of exaust and a lot of changes in the placement and size of stairs (BTW, the propellers can turn). So, in a few days (I hope they do it before Dec 24th), ecardmodels will release this model.

And it has already been published in ecardmodels!
Wondefull for a Chrismas gift! If you want to see the original plane just go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14JdlPsH6xU One interesting detail is that the engines have the logo and name of the company in the INNER wall of the engines, so when the passengers take pictures the publicity goes. You can see it in one of my pictures.

Yep, that is a very nice colour scheme from this airline.
I don't see an update from Ecards though, it's showing the same models on the landing page as for the last week.

It's in the second line, second from the left. So far it's just 1/72, but 1/33 should be published soon

Thanks, Pèricles!
The original color scheme of the DHC-6 when I started to build it was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnvMBuKugd4 Harbour Air could be the next version to do, once the TMA 1/33 is published in ecardmodels in a few days. And, as you can see there are many versions in the queue, including some amphibians.

The red and green (later red and black) Maldivian Air Taxi also looks good. And there is plenty of photo documentation of these aircraft, including the interior and cockpit.
I found a type of the wheeled DHC-6-300 which is operated by Grand Canyon Airways and has extra large windows. Might be an interesting one to include.

Here are some of the first color schemes for the Twin Otter that I will be doing. As you can see there is a short nose and one amphibian. The idea is to first build the ones with floats, then switch to wheels (including the one in the Grand Canyon) and last the sky ones. Of course, all depending the amount of sales. The order so far is first the Harbour Air Canada with the read leaf, and then if you want some of them sugerences are accepted.

I noticed the different nose shapes. I think this is because the landplane has a cargo compartment in there that might not be accesible when on floats, or else would interfere with CoG. Either way, you have to design two versions.
Also in the TMA fleet is this spectacular design on 8Q-TMJ promoting a resort: https://cdn.plnspttrs.net/30307/8q-t...92148e7b_o.jpg and 8Q-MAO underwater world: https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos...v=v450d9ae859d
