Airfix DHC Beaver Seaplane

Old kit dated 1979. Decals needed a couple of coats of enamel gloss clear to rescue. Good quality kit, good instructions, either float or wheeled aircraft.

Nice job on the Beaver, Pat. Yes

The DNR (Dept of Natural Resources, more or less the national park service here in the US) used to fly a Beaver on floats with wheels into my little college town airport way back when. Good memories, thanks.

Thanks Greg. When I posted this on the aquisition thread people commented on the riveted exterior finish and one kit that they had been looking out for.

Thanks guys, we were in a modern version up in Alaska a few years ago.
