Normally I don´t do commissions as I build for fun and relaxation, But I am going to do an exception on this little bird, partly because it was a good friend that asked, but also because of the supplied research material, which even includes a piece of fabric from the plane in question

Now I just have to find a match for the colours from my stock of Tamiya and Lifecolor paint.

The story of the plane in danish service is quite tragic - We received 16 aircrafts but during a fire in the hangar 11 burned and 3 others was wrecked over the years , leaving only 2 surviving planes. This will be one of the survivors - Y-654 - which is currently awaiting a full rebuild at Avedøre.

Cheers/Jan
