Model Review - Bombardier DHC-8 by JC Wings

[YesterAirlines]

A few weeks ago I reviewed a Saab 340 and now it is the turn of the only slightly larger DHC-8, a type that sold more but has seen even less releases in 400 scale. In the past 12 months there have been 3 releases, which is nearly a quarter of all production. Hopefully we'll see more of the type.

It's great to see some tiny models being released. Saab 340, Dash 8, An-26/32, ATR 42/72

For this Dash 8, I agree with Richard: cockpit windows and gear tires are quite crappy. Specially the tiny main gears, in my opinion.

Despite being so tiny, I think Herpa did a great work and the model looks nice!

that is amazing build considering the size

If they can do these small accurately sized gears here, wonder why on the Saab 340, or the A220, or the BAe 146, they can not
