Hobby Master 200 Douglas DC-6B Olympic Airways "SX-DAD" (cn 45539/1010)
I so love the DC-6 and this one is adding one more model in my Olympic fleet. I have almost all issues for both 200 and 400 scales. Perched the HM standard stand I examined the model for several days before starting this review. HM still has a little bit of a problem with fitting the nose gear and nose gear cover properly but all else on the model is very good. HM got the colors correctly and the two pictures on A-net verify this along with correct shape of the nose, cockpit and cockpit windows. The colors are correct and the printing of doors and passenger windows is correct. Between 1958 and 1967 Olympic Airways operated 13 DC-6B aircraft, 10 were owned by the airline and 3 were leased from U.A.T. as F-BGSK, F-BGTY and F-BGTZ. In 1958 Olympic received their 4th DC-6B c/n 45539/1010 registered as SX-DAD and named “Isle
of Rhodes”. The aircraft was sold to Concare Aircraft Leasing and registered as N111AD. In 1973 the aircraft joined the Fuerza Aérea Guatematelca (Guatemalan Air Force) as FAG 926. In 1986 the DC-6 was operated with the civil registry of TG-WOP. At some point in its life the aircraft was converted to an (F). The model is a real beauty to have in the collection. This aircraft was also made in 400 scale.
