I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Not much out there for Dash 7 kits. There was a 1/144 solid resin kit of the DHC-7 which, AFAIK, all came from the same moulds. Those older kits are listed as made by Sasquatch, CBS Models, or ATP/Airliners America. Here's a built version:

A better choice in 1/144 would be Welsh Models' SL 241 P - a mixed vacuform and resin kit.

In 1/72, Space Models Ltd did a resin kit ... but those are collectors' items since Space Models tanked in 2009. AFAIK, the only available 1/72 model is a desktop DHC-7 by Atlantic Models Inc: http://yhst-83415459357696.stores.yahoo.net/paisda7.html
The example is in Paradise Island markings but Far West is another option.

CanMilAir did decals for the CC-132 (#411) but they aren't currently available: http://www.canmilair.com/prodimages/image_411.jpg

For the record, Herpa did a diecast DHC-7 in 1/200.
