That is really nice! Great finish on it. Getting a good finish with any yellow, i find anyway, can be a pain. Did you airbrush or hairy stick?
Cheers... Ray

Lovely job :thumbsup: you can't beat Rescue Yellow for a colour scheme ;D
(I must admit I to thought surely the Canadians would have done that in real life)

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

SUPER job there Cap'n.  :thumbsup:

Like the others have said that scheme REALLY suits the Otter and it is suprising the RCAF never used it in that scheme.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Ah, I was scratching my head for a sec about that. Always proof of a good Wif, and one of my fave schemes.

Not a What-if but rather a Only-if.  Sure the beats the NMF and red finish the RW Otters wore.

Thanks guys ! I like the look of yellow SAR a/c as well. It would have been nice if the RCAF would have kept them flying !
