The De Havilland DHC-2 often called Beaver is probably the most famous and beloved bush plane ever built. With its distinct look, flight characteristics and sound it's instantly recognizable. It was produced from 1947 to 1967 by De Havilland Canada. Despite being out of production for many years now a lot of planes are still in use. If you want to find out more about the real plane click here.

With the help of zanna I built the DHC-2 out of Lego.
Features:
• True to original plane with details such as exhaust, floats, decorated cockpit, nice looking and fresh colour scheme, window prints on the fuselage, radial • engine print, antennas and lights on the wings
• Retractable landing gear that folds into the floats
• Accessories namely first aid kit, a mail package, a letter ,a fuel canister, a safety buoy and a rope to tie up the plane
• A small piece of land with a wooden dock, a fir tree and an air sock
• 2 minifigures, a pilot and a hermit who lives in the wilderness with his dog

So what are you waiting for? Support this project now on Lego Ideas and with some luck you can soon take your plane and deliver the hermit's mail into the wilderness!

This model was rendered using blender.
