I have the Guillow's Beaver kit but haven't started building it yet.

A good source for the history of each Beaver built by De Havilland Canada,photos,etc.,
is:

A great DVD documentary about the restoration of the Beaver "Olivia" is called
"The Immortal Beaver".I bought a copy off Amazon.The DVD has footage of the
maiden flight of the prototype Beaver in 1947.Actor Harrison Ford and the DHC-2
Beaver he owns is in it as well.He tells how he became interested in owning a Beaver
after playing a Beaver pilot in the movie,"6 Days,7 Nights".It's a good movie.

A total of 1,692 Beaver aircraft were built.The US Military purchased 973
Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 VF-871
Royal Canadian Navy
