Even though this
model has Norwegian registration it fits in this Swedish theme I'm trying
to do. This aircraft is now the beautiful "Daisy" of Flygande
Veteraner in Sweden. She started her life in military service during
WW2 and after the war was converted to an airliner for the Norwegian DNL (Det
Norske Luftfartsselskap). DNL later became a part of SAS and this is how
my model is built. After the SAS years Daisy was transfered to the Swedish
airline Linjeflyg where she served for three years. Now it is 1960.
Daisy
once again does military service. She is in the Swedish Airforce until
1982 when she is sold to some enthusiasts who one year later sell her
to Flygande Veteraner where she still remains.

The model is the
Airfix reboxing of the Italeri kit. It was built straight from the box
with decals from the Danish firm Stoppel. It is painted with Tamiya
"rattle cans".
