Very interesting project. Did you use two kits ? And where did you get the propellers and the beautyful livery?

Chris Parsons
Thanks! I did use two kits, I had cut the nose off one kit to use as a mule to make a more accurate shape for a build on floats (seen here) and had put the wrong landing gear on a second kit which left two useless kits. I decided to bash them together (after first drawing up a plan) and came up with this. The props are scratched from .010" sheet plastic and the livery was copied from a picture of a twin otter in Viking colours from the Viking site, drawn on paper, transferred to Frisket film stuck to the model and painted on. The side windows are "Scotch" brand clear tape cut to squares and stuck on.
Great fun!

Looks great Chris! An interesting 'what-if' if De Havillland Canada hadn't develop the Dash 7.
