John Everett Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 With the DHC-2 complete (Abandoned, actually. I'm tired of polishing a fundamentally bad kit.) I can focus full time on finishing the AeroSubaru in 1/20 Loach Driver, MikeMaben, Michael931080 and 37 others 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Owens Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Sow’s ear to silk purse in one (perhaps not-so-easy) lesson! Stunning what you accomplished with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Wow, nice ! Unusual and cool John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbooyv8 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Wow, stunning, John! Especially so knowing what you started with. Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Sow's ear to silk purse indeed, well done. I have seen these kits around for a very long time but this is by far the nicest finished one. I don't recognize the pilot. Is that Bob and Doug's younger brother? cheers, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Lovely work! Having completed this kit, with only some slightly harder exterior mods and no interior I can attest to what a large amount of work this was. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Excellent construction! All the little extras and detail work are sharp, things like the stripes on the toboggan and the carpet and metal flooring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 That turned out great, John, the best Beaver I have seen (can I say that?). You don't see too many completed ones. May I post it on the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevepd Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Do you not get any interior at all?. If not it’s look a tremendous amount of work which has turned out really well. I’ve never seen anything except the 1/72 Airfix kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydesign Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 What a great looking Beaver John! Incredible detail added from scrap! (Seen the add in FSM for many years but never got the courage to try this myself....) Meindert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greif8 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Very nice work. The finish looks great and you did some skilled scratchbuilding as well. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 What a spectacular transformation of a very "basic" kit to begin with!! Incredible attention to detail, and the finish is in scale and very convincing. Thanks for sharing this one, a beautiful and unique model! I won't say anything about the stereotype Canadian pilot figure... Superb job! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 You've done a great job with that kit. I like the interior especially. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
