De Havilland Kate Moth – Part Two – Bobbing On The Lake

Nothing said sport flying like a Kate Moth on floats.

Whether it was in the Yukon or Ontario, the Kate Moth formed reliable transportation for hunters, fishermen, and prospectors.

Of course nothing heavier than a dead chipmunk could be flown out strapped to the floats, but these were prized anyway. Red floats are good for when it finishes upside down in a snowbank.,

The dear old Airfix kit went together about as well as it did in 1957. I left out the pilots, Ross and Pierre, but maybe I will put them in as there is no other interior – not even a pair of sticks.

From a lost soul kit to a small gem – a good weekend project.
