The Beaver is back, Airfix has just re-released. I decided to build a couple to celebrate its return 
. The kit has its issues, however I was able to isolate one of them...apparently the wings are set 2mm too far forward (in 72nd thats a fair amount!). I discovered this when I decided to substitute windshield glazing for some vac parts I have left over from a couple of surplus "Lift Here" Turbo Beaver kits...
First up is the RNZAF example NZ6001 :

I'm also doing 'CMU as a floatplane which will be in colours of Flying Dolphin Services (Picton)
