eBay does not allow us to offer variations of size or scale in one listing but if you would like to see an example of the next smaller size or scale model you can do so by clicking on the link below.
The fully assembled model comes with a stained solid mahogany (or mahogany with steel arm) stand and is ready to display on your desk, bookcase or wherever you desire. The photographs you see have not been manipulated or digitally edited - they are exactly as the model looks in real life, but unfortunately even digital photography cannot do full justice to the look and feel of the model once you receive it!

Flying Icon: The De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver of Kenmore Air
Nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Kenmore Air has been a beacon of aviation excellence since its inception in 1946. Among its fleet of aircraft, one stands out as a true icon of aviation history and rugged reliability: the De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver. For decades, this sturdy workhorse has been synonymous with adventure, exploration, and above all, the spirit of flight.
A Storied Legacy:
Originally designed by the Canadian company de Havilland Canada in the late 1940s, the DHC-2 Beaver was intended to meet the demand for a versatile utility aircraft capable of operating in remote and challenging environments. Its rugged construction, impressive short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, and ability to be equipped with floats, skis, or wheels made it the perfect choice for bush flying, particularly in regions like the Pacific Northwest where rugged terrain and countless lakes define the landscape.
Kenmore Air recognized the unparalleled capabilities of the Beaver early on and incorporated it into its fleet, where it has since become an integral part of the company’s identity. With its distinctive profile and unmistakable sound, the Beaver has become a symbol of adventure for both pilots and passengers alike.
A Versatile Workhorse:
What sets the DHC-2 Beaver apart is its adaptability. Whether it’s ferrying passengers to remote lodges, hauling cargo to inaccessible locations, or conducting aerial surveys of vast wilderness areas, the Beaver excels in a wide range of roles. Its ability to operate from short, unimproved airstrips and waterways makes it indispensable in regions where conventional aircraft simply cannot venture.
Kenmore Air has leveraged the Beaver’s versatility to offer a diverse array of services, including scenic flights over the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, commuter flights between urban centers and remote communities, and specialized charters for everything from wildlife photography expeditions to remote fishing trips.
Reliability and Durability:
One of the hallmarks of the DHC-2 Beaver is its legendary reliability and durability. Built to withstand the rigors of bush flying, the Beaver is renowned for its robust construction and ease of maintenance. Its Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior radial engine, with its distinctive growl, provides ample power and reliability, even in the most demanding conditions.
Kenmore Air’s commitment to safety and maintenance ensures that each Beaver in its fleet is meticulously cared for, undergoing regular inspections and maintenance to uphold the highest standards of airworthiness. This dedication to safety and reliability has made Kenmore Air a trusted name in aviation for over seven decades.
Preserving a Legacy:
As the aviation industry continues to evolve, the DHC-2 Beaver remains a timeless symbol of adventure and exploration. While newer aircraft may offer advanced technology and greater efficiency, the allure of the Beaver lies in its simplicity, reliability, and rugged charm.
For Kenmore Air, the Beaver represents more than just an aircraft; it embodies a legacy of innovation, resilience, and the pioneering spirit of aviation. As the company continues to expand its operations and embrace new opportunities, the DHC-2 Beaver will always hold a special place in the hearts of pilots, passengers, and aviation enthusiasts around the world.
In a world where speed and efficiency often take precedence, the De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver reminds us that sometimes the journey itself is the greatest adventure of all. And for Kenmore Air, that journey is just beginning.
