Very nice, Pat. The Canadians know how to paint an airplane.

Thanks guys, yes I love floatplanes too, but we don't have them in the UK!

Hey!

"Da Plane ,"Boss" Da Plane" I have this kit in so many forms. I love the Otter since I both flew them and rode as a passenger in them. Super Practical and I might add, A Handsome Bird doing it's job!

And "Shaker" event aside, looks darned good to me!!

Hey Pat - that's not a rally car ;)

I've been wanting to build an Otter for some time. Looks good.

Thanks,

John

With hand shake in full mode the undercarriage legs were impossible to fit and keep still. So after a lot of thought I used those parts as templates on small sprue.
