| Great job,David! Best static Guillow's Beaver I've seen so far, and I've seen a lot of them. |

| A friend who was involved with the construction of LS 85, the site that was over run in Laos in 1968, said he was shot at while flying in a U-6A to the site. That means that they were used in much the same way as the Pilatus Porter and probably because of their STOL abilities. |

| Thanks for the kind words:-) Don, its "U" designation stands for utility so I guess it was used for whatever it was needed for. There are strap on skis in the reference photo and that plus the color suggest it was a northern aircraft. |

| That Typhoon is huge! I thought the Beaver was a big aircraft... 500HP/2000HP and 150mph/400mph. Both about 40' wingspan. |

| Looks great. I particularly like the spinner, and it's a great paint scheme. |

| So it IS an Air Force thing. It's still a Beaver, just not amphibious. What were they used for by the AF? |

| Thank you, Sir!! |

| Thanks, Don. My interest in building this plane is strictly for the paint job and wheels. There are many folks who think a Beaver just isn't a Beaver without floats. I am not one of those. This is a USAF DHC U-6A. |

| Beautiful work, as always, I admire a huge amount of built beautiful models of various aircraft and enormous artistic talent, great passion and work. Bravo !!! |

| Even though it lacks floats, (probably and Air Force thing) that is a darn nice job David. Another one you can be proud of. |
