Marky's Belizean Islander ***FINISHED***

Our 2nd "Lesser Represented Countries" GB with a slight change to allow any subject, not just aircraft. You must sign up for the specific country and there are no duplicates in this GB and a modeler cannot do the same country(s) as in the previous one.

I can't update with pics as the 'Add Image' button has gone for me also. I also don't have a P!!. I'm not going through the palaver of PB again :-| , but suffice it to say I have painted the two torpedoes, the prop blades have been removed so that she can be displayed on a stand in flight, and although late in the day, a seam on the nose and above the cockpit has been fillered. It did mean going over a fairly good paint job but the seam wouldn't stop bugging me!!. Hopefully get it done but might need the final day. :grin:

Finished her. Needed to refit the nose wheel and the left main wheel. She has a stand so that she can be shown 'in flight', although I didn't put any pilots in!!. Better pics tomorrow.

Nice one Marky, looking forward to the reveal shots, I wish I had a few more of these in the stash. I have one kit and a dozen or more ideas.

All the best.

Unusual to see the Islander in camouflage but it actually looks a treat! Nice build Mark
Best wishes

Thanks chaps!. Not sure how much anti-ship work the BDF-AW has to do but the photo I have shows them carried by at least one Islander/Defender, so it's nice to base a kit on an photo. I have one more Islander kit which was intended to be used for a Trislander conversion attempt, but it would be interesting to see this one next to a yellow Aurigny one!!. :grin:
