mozart 8,073 Posted Friday at 03:42 PM (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 8,073 Posted Friday at 08:12 PM (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 5,396 Posted Friday at 08:36 PM 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...
