#078 Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker
Building the Dora Wings kit of the Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker with an appropriately? kitsch presentation: Inter Island Airways livery over the beaches of Hawaii.
Notes
Giuseppe Mario Bellanca emigrated from Italy to the US in 1911, founding the Bellanca Aircraft Company in 1927.
The Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker, a six-seat utility aircraft, had it’s first flight in 1929.
Build Log
A plane in flight needs at least a pilot, so I grabbed a somewhat suitable civilian figure. Not very visible in the final product.
fitting the clear parts is a bit tricky, but after a little fettling it all goes together quite well
plane is basically finished, now thinking about the final presentation..

Dora Wings of Ukraine have a wonderfully eclectic range of aircraft from the “golden era” of flight. Eugen told his story to Chris Meddings on the Models from Ukraine podcast Episode 9 - it is well worth a listen if you are interested in how small kit business became one of the best in the world, and continues to do so in the middle of a war.
