1/144 DHC-2 Beaver - Miniwing




1/144 DHC-2 Beaver - Miniwing
The latest release from Miniwing is another classic icon, the DHC-2 Beaver this venerable aircraft served with over 30 air forces around the world both big and small. Produced primarily between 1947 and 1967, I dare say there are a fair few of the 1,600+ produced still flying around the world in various guises!

The kit itself features all the hallmarks of a typical Miniwings release with nice casting, good detailing and fair panel lines, good fit.. Additional features for Miniwing is the clear resin glazing, and the p/e etched parts, in particular the prop blades.

Decals by Y-Kraft are provided for 3x schemes, 
L-20A of 10 TRW USAF (early  1960s)
DHC-2 in UN Service over the Congo (1960)
L-20A of 300 Sdn RNLAF (Royal Dutch Airforce)

Early Preview of Miniwings.cz

Miniwings upcoming kits, preview.

See how good I am to you! Here are the latest prototypes for the next series of releases for Miniwings.

 SAAB 32 Lansen , looks particiluary sleek and exciting and would look good against the Hawker Hunter that also served with the Swedish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Lansen

This aircraft was designed to replace the old Turboprop aircraft in service with the Swedish airforce (Flygvapnet). Swedish Air Force requirements for the P1150 were demanding: the aircraft had to be able to attack anywhere along Sweden's 1,245 miles (2000 km) of coastline within one hour of launch from a central location. It had to be capable of being launched in any weather, day or night. Special attention was to be paid to integrating the electronics and weapons systems to create the equivalent of today's weapons systems approach to combat aircraft design. The aircraft was to be armed with four 20 mm cannons, rockets, bombs and/or a new anti-ship missile being developed, the Rb 04. The design team created a sleek airframe with clean lines powered by a license-built Rolls-Royce Avon Series 100

The AVRO CF-100 'Canuck', another great fighter from the Canadian stables before the American mega corporations squeezed the life from them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CF-100

In the early 1950s, Canada needed an all-weather interceptor (fighter) able to patrol the vast areas of Canada's north and operate in all weather conditions. The two-seat fighter crewed by a pilot and navigator, was designed with two powerful engines and an advanced radar and fire control system housed in its nose that enabled it to fly in all-weather or night conditions.Design of the XC-100 to meet a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) specification for an all-weather fighter was initiated at Avro Canada in October 1946. Chief Engineer Edgar Atkin's work on the CF-100 was subsequently passed to John Frost formerly of de Havilland who, along with Avro's Chief Aerodynamacist Jim Chamberlin, reworked the original fuselage design.

de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver, well a man can never have to much of a good thing...
An interesting choice given its military service, however it should mean some interesting decal options? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Canada_DHC-2_Beaver

The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a single-engined, high-wing, propeller-driven, STOL aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada, primarily known as a bush plane. It is used for cargo and passenger hauling, aerial application (crop dusting and aerial topdressing), and has been widely adopted by armed forces as a utility aircraft. The United States Army purchased several hundred; nine DHC-2s are still in service with the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) for search and rescue. A Royal New Zealand Air Force Beaver supported Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition to the South Pole.
