discussion Double Dakota the end

[Mickc1440]

Finally got mine passed the finish line after my pal has had his for a few weeks now. I managed to have issues with both builds but they look like Dakota’s
Took a couple of daylight shots with mine after remembering to remove the masks, oh and refitting the top aerial for the 8th time



Thanks to all who stopped by to see these builds

Very nice indeed Mick. Every inch the true workhorse of the allied air Effort.

Didn't know that, so thanks. Hopefully it will make an appearance later this year.
We are lucky here as very often in the summer we get a Spit , Hurricane and the Dakota do a fly over on the way home .Will look out for it now .

Very nice indeed. Considering what an important part Dakotas played during the war we don't seem to see many models built.

Ok Mick, so you've already passed on North Dakota to your friend so this must be South Dakota...For being troublesome kits, you really knocked them together and made a fantastic finish on them both. Top work my friend and please give yourself a big pat on the back too!!!

Hi Mick, I really like the way these turned out......particularly fond of J8! Well, you've done it, I'm thinking about pulling mine out of the stash later on in the year. I have always been fascinated by the wartime pics. of a bunch of GI's hand loading a Willy's Jeep into one of these. :thumb2:

Oh and congrats on the Dog's Doo dahs!:smiling5:
