Hello Allan,
Great finish. It most have come straight from a big overhaul.
Looks spotless. Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands.

Thanks Dirk, the two Otters served with the RAAF from 1961 to 1967, so not very old in 1962.

Very nice! I don't think I have an Otter in my stash - something I may have to remedy soon. Nice scheme you chose for this one.

Thanks Greg, plain white looks OK !

Good-lookin' build, Allan...did all Otters have those wing fences? I don't recall noticing them before.
Allan J Withers said on May 2, 2017
Thanks Craig, I guess so, they have on the box art !

Got me to thinkin' when I asked, so I did a Google [images] search for "DeHavilland Otter" and all the ones pictured had 'em, so I guess you're right - they all did. Wonder why?

Allan, that's a pretty scheme for the aircraft. And your decals are much better than what they give you! Don't get to see too many Otters built, it's a nice looking aircraft.
