Looking good, a plane with "character"
I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped...

I remember the conversion article in Airfix Magazine from decades ago where a Devon was converted to one of these.
Another excellent model to add to your collection.

Lovely job Sir.
Where do you blokes keep finding these cracking Rareplanes Dove/Devon kits from?,I've been looking for years and never found a one.
Wasn't VP981 once attached to the BBMF? IIRC they used it to transport ground crews to land away airshows.

Back in the 1970s tere used to be a small museum in the terminal at Dublin AIrport. On display was a set of 1/72 models in Irish Air Corps colours. One of the models on display was an AIr Corps Dove which had ben made by converting the Airfix Heron.
