Virtavia BN2 - Police Repaints

Post by DaveB »

Hi Chaps..

Got this finished for you. It's the wrong model I know but it's the only worthwhile Islander available so it got painted. Last repaint of this aircraft was for FS2002 so it's overdue :lol:

Available HERE

As it's basically the wrong model, I've chosen to give it the rounder, older nose.. I don't like the very pointy one :lol: Should you wish to use the pointy nose model, simply change the model= line to read PN instead of SN. I've not tried it but nothing should fall off ;)

Here's another for the collection.. this time the PSNI Islander G-BSWR

As with the Greater Manchester Police paint, the real aircraft.. although an Islander is also a BN2T so you'll have to pretend you've a turbo-prop strapped to each wing :) Unlike the GMP paint, this one is the right shape for the real aircraft ;) Oh.. I toned down the patch-quilt wing surfaces since these screenshots too so it doesn't look quite as much like a collection of spares :cpu:

Thanks for these Dave.

I particularly like 'PB' a simple scheme but reminiscent of maritime patrol. With it being a Police aircraft, I did toy with the idea of changing the colour of the upper red rotating beacon to blue :lol:
I've been having fun flying the Islanders around both the Scilly Isles and Barra in the Hebrides. Aircraft has a really good flight model.

Regards

Kevin

Also has the old wings...the pointy nose and extended wings were Trislander developments that were added to the Islander. :)
