DHC-2 Beaver Selection
Antarctic Aviation series (Part 1)
Product # 4808
Review by Steve Bamford
This is another selection of decals in 1/48 scale covering the Beaver that flew for various countries in Antarctica. It's no surprise that these Canadian built aircraft were able to adapt in the Antarctic climate.... afterall....if these planes can conquer the Canadian wilderness and climate, then they would be well suited to the harsh climatic conditions of the South Pole region. This just released decal sheet remembers one of the mainstay aircraft types of the Antarctic. Included in this decal sheet are markings for 4 different Beavers from 4 different countries. Two of the 4 Beavers on this decal sheet have wheels and two of the beavers have floats.
The quality of the decals is very clear and in register.....in other words....you will be quite satisfied with the high quality of the decals.
