The DHC-8-400 boasts a near-to-scale construction, measuring just a few inches from its actual dimensions, and is meticulously textured. Numerous animateable features are incorporated, including propellers, ailerons, flaps, rudder, and elevators; retractable landing gear with closable doors adds to the realism. Available in various formats, this aircraft is part of the DHC 8 family, which includes the Q400 series, a 78-passenger airliner manufactured by Bombardier. The Q400 distinguishes itself from its predecessor, the Q300, with an extended fuselage and a new nose section and vertical tail, while retaining the familiar Dash 8 horizontal tail. Despite competition from regional jetliners, the DHC 8 Q400 has experienced increased sales due to rising fuel costs and airlines seeking cost reduction strategies.
