Hanno KleineckeBeautiful work on that camoscheme and detailing, love the orange striping ! I don´t suppose the instrument panel decals were part of this old kit,
are they homeprinted ?

Kelly WellingtonVery nice, as per usual, Migrant. Your detailing is so above and beyond mine. I did this kit in the US Army colors, on floats. I love your use of the hi-viz markings. DHC is one of my favorites...it's nice to see Viking continue the line.

Dieter BihlmaierGreat looking Beaver, Mike. I've built mine some years ago in U.S.Army livery.

Derek HuggettYou are starting to scare me Mike! This is a seriously neat and tidy Beaver from a lovely old Airfix model (silk purse from sows ear?). If I could only produce half the same as good....

Mike GrantThanks a lot guys! 🙂
@Alberto I'm not familiar with pongo, but I'm guessing you're referring to the BluTack masking material.
@Rolando Considering the age of the kit, it went together really well. There were a lot of raised rivets which I sanded off, but the overall fit was pretty good.
@Hanno The instrument panel decals were from my Cockpit Details range
@Kelly Your floatplane Beaver looks really nice 👍

Ron VerburgVery nicely done! If I am not mistaken this kit comes with floats too. I was thinking about building this kit in a civilian version. Any pitfalls to look out for when building?

Roberto RocatAmazing as always! It looks like another kit and another scale. Maestro.

Łukasz GlińskiOh Man - instead of drawing the boxarts they should use your pics to attract buyers

Derek HuggettOnly if the models included a tiny Mike Grant to build it to that finish too! 🙂
