The DHC-6 Twin Otter In the Americas in 1:144 scale is an injection-molded plastic kit by Mark I, issued as a marking version of its own.
Responsibility details are not available.
The kit covers the DHC-6 Twin Otter twin-engined turboprop in 1:144 scale, that is in the size usual for collections of transport aircraft and for models of airfields. According to the name, this version is aimed at machines operated on the American continent. The manufacturer issues this type in several marking versions, which differ from one another precisely in the contents of the decal sheet, so a collector can build several machines from one mold and still have a different aircraft each time.
The De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter is a twin-engined turboprop with short takeoff and landing ability, which came about in the mid-1960s as a versatile machine for difficult terrain. A high-set wing, fixed landing gear and the ability to operate from short and unpaved surfaces made it one of the most widespread machines of its class. It flies with airlines and with armed forces, in versions on wheels, skis and floats, and does so from the Arctic to tropical islands. The nickname Twotter, which the aircraft was given among its crews, caught on so well that it even appears in the names of modeling sets.
In 1:144 scale the cleanliness of the surface decides, because every remnant of glue is clearly visible over a small area. So glue the parts with a thin cement for plastic that is drawn into the joint by capillary action, and then only sand the joints gently. The cockpit is most practical to mask and spray with the fuselage, and at this size a mask cut from adhesive tape serves well. Light aircraft finishes call for a good primer, otherwise the color of the plastic shows through. Lay a gloss varnish down before the decals and, once it has dried, draw the surface together with a semi-gloss varnish. Choose the weathering sparingly; on a transport aircraft it is enough to suggest the traces of exhaust gases and a rubbed wing leading edge.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
