Douglas Dakota

This one ? No 

Or this one ? Yes, the Transport Wings decals are nice 

This one is also possible 

Electronics to be built inside 

Control building position 

Baseplate with Model Scenery Print. My clubmembers considered the concrete to be too bluish, so... 

I made it over with a greyer print and Revell weathering powder 

"real" electronics added : wing and fuselage lights, motors 

and an Arduino Nano for steering the functions 

Test before closing the cockpit : it works ! 

some progress: fuselage and wings assembled, white AK primer applied on top 

AK black undercoat for ALU finish 

idem: Black undercoat for ALU finish 

Alu paint added, some surgery needed for fixing the circuits, but everything seems to work as programmed 

catastrophy: broken dakota will go to other project 

airfix dakota : landing lights work fine 

airfix dakota : navigation lights work fine 

battery packs and power bank : 5 V power supplies 

arduino fitted, landing lights and nav lights work 

as it is an airliner, the interior should look like an airliner. 

The passengers arrived: Slater's assorted figures 

wiring in the wing 

Slaters figures as passengers 

electronics check : OK 

passengers and crew ready, cabin and cockpit lights working 

Closing the fuselage
