mozart 9,172 Posted February 14 (edited) At Last!!!! Łukasz Sznajder 38 mins De Havilland DH.89 Dragon Rapide probably doesn't need an introduction, everyone knows it. We have always liked its shape. Therefore, we decided to release it in 1:32 scale. It is really big by the standards of models produced in resin (dimensions in 1:32 scale is 456 x 332 mm). The model will be available in our online store: www.lukgraph.pl We don't know the price yet but it will be as friendly as possible. The aircraft in the pre-war, war and post-war period was very popular. Many of them fly today to enjoy tourists and aviation enthusiasts. Paintings of civil aircraft are particularly beautiful. We decided to issue it in 2 boxes: Box 1: 2 British painting (camouflage and silver) Box 2: US Army and Israeli Air Force Details and profiles coming soon. At the present time, the modeler has no problem making masks or decals for 1 piece (your favorite). We can always help in technical preparation of the project (especially for civilian versions). The set will include: - resin castings - 3D printed Gipsy Six x 2 engine with exhaust pipes - 3D-printed passenger seats (8 + 1 reserve) - 3D printed inside the pilot's cabin - photo-etched sheets - decal - instruction The model should appear at the turn of April and May this year. The most important elements (wings, fuselage, gondolas) are ready. A gondola consisting of two halves with a motor will be a big advantage of the model (open - you will have to make it yourself - but this is not a problem for an experienced modeller). We hope that the DH.89 Rapide selection is ok and you'll like it.

mozart 9,172 Posted February 14 (edited) This is mine: Trainee wireless operators at Yatesbury. They carried an old biscuit tin in the plane as a “sick bin”. If they missed they paid the ground crew half a crown to clean out the plane!

kkarlsen 5,804 Posted February 14 (edited) Yes, yes, yes, this is the biggest news in.. like forever!!! I've been so exited since Lukasz hinted it on FB a couple of weeks ago, dreading it would be the Comet... Now this is on my top three list of planes I wanted to do in my lifetime, this is huge! Ready to go... OY-DIN ex G-ADAE 6272 at a newly opened little local airport in 1938, very close to were I live...
