Hello everyone!
Well, Galacticasia. You're too late.
THIS IS MY NEW PLANE.
De Havilland Canada DHC-8-Q400
The second plane that I built myself.

A LITTLE BIT OF WIKIPEDIA!
In the 1970s, De Havilland Canada invested heavily in its Dash 7 project, focusing on SUVs and performance on short runways, the company's traditional area of business. The use of four medium-power engines with large four-bladed propellers resulted in a comparatively lower noise level, which, combined with its excellent SUV characteristics, made the Dash 7 suitable for operation at small urban airports, which, according to DHC, would be attractive to the market. However, only a few carriers used the Dash 7, as most regional airlines were more interested in operating costs rather than using short takeoff and landing characteristics.

In 1980, de Havilland responded by eliminating the requirements for operating on short runways and adapting the basic Dash 7 layout to use only two more powerful engines. Engine supplier Pratt & Whitney Canada has developed new PW100 series engines for this role, more than doubling the power of its PT6. Originally designated as the PT7A-2R engine, it later became the PW120. When the Dash 8 was released on April 19, 1983, over 3,800 test hours had been accumulated over five years on five PW100 series test engines. The first flight of the Dash 8 took place on June 20, 1983.

The PW120 engine certification was completed on December 16, 1983.

This is the third, most advanced DHC-8 aircraft, and not only in my profile, but also on the entire site. ha ha!
But I can't leave such works as from @MAPA or from @gazedchuimin without reverence.
