KursadA Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) CD48107 will be the first of a couple DHC-2 Beaver sheets I will be releasing. This one is called a "U-6 / L-20 Beaver" sheet as it will have US options only. Several colorful USAF / USAFE options, USN Test Pilots School, etc. Edited October 9, 2016 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Is there any possibility you're doing this for something other than the delightful Hobbycraft kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircal62 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 some Army Beavers would also be attractive. Not all were drab Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vince Maddux Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The Civil Air Patrol (USAF Auxiliary ) flies them still in Alaska. These plans are owned by the Air Force, But Civil Air Patrol personal and pilots fly them as unpaid volunteers. CAP does 80 percent of inland missing aircraft searches in the US.

KursadA Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Is there any possibility you're doing this for something other than the delightful Hobbycraft kit? Yes, this sheet is designed for the Hobbycraft kit, which I understand is dimensionally accurate. I would also love to see a new DHC-2, but in the meantime there are lots of Hobbycraft kits around with not much selection in USAF/ US Army decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
troschi Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Any chance for 1:72? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Can someone in the US please lend me an Airfix 1/72 Beaver kit? I need a kit to modify the scaled-down artwork since there are some full-tail markings which will need to fit the target kit exactly. Please send me a PM if you can help.

tobiK Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Here in the "old world" the Beaver is hard to get and when it is available, prices are overrated! I do not find that kit in a LHS, only evil-bay can be a source for the modeller. I wish Revell would make a Beaver boxing like they did with the ICM C-45. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Airfix is trying to bring the kit back by collecting preorders through their KitStarter site - it still needs a bit more support to be re-released: http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/kitstarter/kitstarter-dhc-beaver.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 No Canadian options!!!??? But, but....its a BEAVER!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 You know full well that RCAF did not operate the Beaver, and I am not aware of any other Canadian military operators. If there had been one, I could consider it for a future sheet - if this one sells OK. Speaking of Canadian decals, I recently did this one with special Hawk markings.

One small correction; there is no such thing as 'Royal Army'. Unlike the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, the Army does not use the 'Royal' prefix. It is just called 'British Army'.

KursadA Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Cool - since I have the base drawings already, it would be pretty easy to put together another sheet with new options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
