DHC-2 Beaver
« on: August 15, 2013, 11:43:56 AM »
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. Over 1,600 Beavers were produced until 1967 when the original line shut down.

And this is just start work on layout for color profile. It is complex airplane to do as well there is many variations of external details but I hope I could make it ;)

Beavers have been fitted with wheels, skies and floats!
In my opinion the Beaver was just as versatile as the Fieseler Storch, maybe more since I never have seen a Fieseler Storch on floats!! Maybe the Beaver is a little bit unknown but that is totally undeserved!

You are right, I realize that when I wanted to get any drawings of this airplane- nothing available! Now I work on base of blueprint and something get on light. There is many users of this plane and my first scheme will be of Ghana.
