KursadA Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Since the Beaver sheet did fairly well, I will do an Otter sheet to go with it: CD48154 will be a sheet dedicated to the DHC-3 Otter; with US, Canadian and other options.

Gilles Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I’m really excited about this ! I have 2 or 3 Otter kits in my stash and have been waiting for good decals for years. Please consider doing a CAF symmetrical era Otter !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Do you think this color is Engine Gray? I don't think it can be anything else, but just wanted to make sure: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sierrascale Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 yes, Engine Gray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume there is a SAC badge over the sash on the other side? I will definitely include it in the US-specific (U-1A) Otter sheet that I am planning to do (I am thinking about two Otter sheets, one with US and one with foreign subjects). Look at the R's in that US AIR FORCE though - I am bound to get a few e-mails about that (*).. (*): I got a bunch of e-mails asking me how I could "get something so basic so wrong" after the H-34 sheet which had HH-34s where the USAF was painted with Navy style letters.

Kursad, Your HH-34J markings are spot on! Most critics did not realize that the helos were all former Navy/Marine aircraft, were "refurbished" at Navy run NARFs and were painted in Air Force colors, but with Navy stencils and font types! Kudos to you for noticing this and printing them correctly. R/ Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 That SAC Otter will be pretty nice for something different. I don't have the kit with the floats and to be honest not sure Hobby Craft released it in 1/48th. I think they did in 1/72nd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Also on that Otter, I am assuming that the rear dark paint would be International orange? And the dark patch under the fuselage is black to hide the exhaust stains? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Air Pirate Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 My guess would be Arctic Red for the dark panels, based on the Goose Bay location. Love the photos, anyway. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HC1656 had the wheels and skiis and HC1657 had the wheels, skiis and floats. See scalemates for details. These do pop up on Ebay every now and then. usually at a premium though.

I have the wheeled version and silly me did not get the one with floats when it came out. And yes I keep forgetting to go to Scalemates. That is a great site and I really should use it more.

Kursad, There are always those self proclaimed experts out there that think they know it all. As for the Otter, my educated guess is that since it carried the 95 BW crest on the right side it would have the SAC crest on the left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
