Classic De Havillands

Post by jjdc »

I was wondering if anyone had ever done a Fox Moth or a Dragon? The Dragon rapide is excellent but the slightly earlier pioneers of the internal UK air services seem to have been overlooked. Anyway I live in hope that someone with the skills I see all the time on this and other UK sites will agree and have a look at them. The Anson 19 onwards is also a gap I would love to see filled.

My thanks to all who make these fine models.

Cheers

Hi JJDC..

I was sure there was a Fox around but having looked, can only find a Leopard on my system :think: It'd certainly nice to have a Dragon. Having tried and failed many times to talk Dave Garwood into making one, I've now given up though I continue with subtle and not so subtle hints on the off chance he'll crack one day :lol: Surprised we've not had a Dragon to date as they're still flying over here in the UK.. likewise the Fox if there isn't one available.

I don't have much info on the dH.84, a basic 3-view is all :-(

I have a good 3-view of the Dragon (and Dragon 2) based on the DeHavilland DRGS GA3040, M2019, M2020 & M2535.

These are to 1/72 Scale, show the folding wing arrangement, fuselage sections etc and even has the colour Scheme of G-ACAN of Hillmans Airways.......any good Dave ? :kissu:
