Eastern Provincial Airways Dart Herald
See the outline of the escape hatch under the leading edge of the wing? Go to the next picture in this album.
This is the actual escape hatch from the Dart Herald. It came loose when the airframe broke up in 1965. It was found in December 2014. The picture was taken in my living room.

Norm SheppardThe kit is really horrible to work with. Bad fits everywhere, the windows are terrible. Lots and lots of filler needed. I filled all the windows in all around.

Łukasz GlińskiNo wonder the receiver was pleased, it's lovely. Wish I would get one of those kits and build it one day...

Album info
This is a replica of CF-NAF, a Handley Page Dart Herald that was operated in Canada by EPA in the 60's. On March 17, 1965 it had a catastrophic failure of the fuselage and disintegrated in midair at 12,000 feet over Nova Scotia. All 8 aboard were killed, 5 passengers and 3 crew. The son of the pilot asked me to build this model using the Frog (Novo) kit. I had to design and print all of the decals myself for this one. Tons of time involved. In the end, he was very pleased with the results.
