Hello, steemians!
Welcome to another model kit review!

For this model kit review, I'll be taking a look at the 1/72 scale model of the De Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide, a small passenger plane. This plastic model kit was produced by Heller, and made in France. According to the internet, this kit was first released in 1979.

The DH 89 was designed in the early 1930s and first flew in April of 1934. This airplane was designed as a short haul passenger plane, capable of carrying 6 to 8 passengers. It's reported range was 572 miles. Many of these airplanes served with the RAF during WW2 for training and communication purposes as well as transport duties. Many of the planes survived the war and had continued service as passenger planes through the 1950s. Several of these planes still survive in flight worthy condition.

Here is the video for this kit review. The video is about 9 minutes long.

Thanks for checking out this model kit review! I hope you found it interesting!
