Classic British Flight Sim

Well, the photos you posted at the start of the thread are surely good enough for you to make a repaint to your satisfaction and for your own use.
The textures in with the flightsim aircraft would suffice for you as it's really just changing the red to green and modding the tail no. A paint kit would not be needed for a straightforward job like that.

I will have a go at painting the Kiwi paint tonight. Is there a 3 blade prop model available?

Sorry - there's no 3-blade prop varient for you to accurately reproduce that Kiwi ship. Ex-works the first 20 were fitted with the 2-bladed prop seen on my models. Production then went to The Lancashire Aircraft Co who built another 6 - fitted with the 3-bladed prop. ZK-PWZ ( ex G-APWZ) c/n 42 was one of these 6.
BTW - if you're wondering why that one is c/n 42 - they started the numbering from 20 :doho:
Also note that PWZ has no spinner but has an extension forward of the fin - this appeared on later models, but not the prototype.
To avoid any more confusion (for me ) I decided to make the model in its ex-works condition - and not make any varients (except for the crop-duster) in view of the small numbers produced and lack of definitive information - not worth the time & effort .
HTH

Trying to think what bmp you could use .....


Hmmmm lets see --- three bladed prop of a 185 would be right -- but NOT the spinner

Well I have started to repaint ZK-PWZ. Im using the 2 blade version without the spray gear.

Just need to figure out how to the rego backwards so fiits on the fuse.

Well - you need to reverse the lettering for the righthand side in your painting program - either by 'mirror' in Paintshop pro or 'flip' in MS Paint. Same for the underside of the Wings.

I think if you drop by www.classicbritishfiles.com you will find Pete Watkins has dropped off that paint and a nice Canadian one as well

Scrummy, all we need now is the Ozzie sh**p-sh***er VH-DAI and we have a round of the colonies.

Thanks for the link and info Leif.

If any of you are looking for pictures of the Percival Prospector, you will find heaps on google and wikipedia. I have found 44 pictures of the aircraft.
