DH89 Dragon Rapide Railway Air Services

The De Havilland Dragon Rapide, the 1930s British bi-plane, was used mainly as a short haul passenger airliner. It was also used as a transport facility for the Railway Air Services, too. Our 1:72 scale model is decorated in all-over silver ?aluminium? finish with its G-ACPP identity printed in red and green on the upper and lower wings and along both sides of the fuselage. The Railway Air Services Ltd and the aircraft name ?City of Bristol? are also printed beneath the cockpit window, while the circular RAS winged emblem also in red and green is printed on the tail. The grey propeller blades have a black leading edge with brown propeller hub/blade root and the nose cone is transparent. The wings struts are finished in silver while tyres, intakes and exhaust pipes are all black.
