Here's the rest of early NZM. The BN2 and C-47s I alread had in-process, but I couldn't find a single one of the Twotters on A-net, had to search them out by serial on a general internet search. The BN-2s are not listed on RZJets. No single research resource is perfect, but I figured it out..... I also corrected my HS748 previewed last page, matched color and the Mount Cook lily is the proper one now. :{)

Yes, I will take care of the mid-80s NZM BN-2. These aircraft were very difficult to research online, so thanks for the additional texture. Some days, it's just that easy..... :{)

Just uploaded the following files to AVSIM:
AQN Air Queensland DHC6 x2, GAF Nomad, F27 x5, C-47 x6 (includes BPA aircraft) FJI Air Pacific F27 (CPAI Model) NZM Mount Cook Airline HS748 x2, B1463, BN2 x4, DHC6 x3, C47 x2, AT72 x2, AT75 x2 NZE Eagle Air Metro III x3, EMB110 x5, B1900D x3 RLK Air Nelson Metro III x4, S340 x4
I have a small bit of residual painting left, specifically for NZM, AQN/BPA, and NZE, but I wanted to settle down the shark tank somewhat, lol, since some of these paints have been laying around for almost a year. This batch should satisfy the mainstream retro for these airlines.

And, in the spirit of long-suffering incomplete projects..... I present the Great Pumpkin patch.... The belly stripe on the late scheme is still not quite perfect, but it looks nice and symmetrical. These will get uploaded later this afternoon or evening. :{)

There's been some more work on the 741/742 this afternoon. I ported the 1978 striping over from the Super Pig, which has different-sized tail/stabilizers, and I didn't catch it, now it's fixed. Also, I stumbled across N749WA, the -273C lease which is now in the package. Lastly, I am going to do something nice with the four NTU -227B serials.

These just went to AVSIM along with the Super Pigs, should be available tomorrow morning or so..... The 'Flying Colors' scheme is my personal favorite. I did all of the -227Bs in that scheme, and 5 of them are NTU (not-taken-up) serials (N606BN was a NTU Super Pig, but it's my project, lol). I originally did the Panagra colors as the fantasy fleet, but it didn't seem to fit as they were phasing that scheme out in the early 70s, right when their first 747 showed up. I really didn't care for the later (Jellybean?) scheme with the script titles. N9997 was a one-month lease, but it didn't have the big comm dome while its sister ship N9666 which served for over a year with BNF still had the dome, so in a rare moment I did the one-month leased aircraft. I passed on the one-month ACA leased aircraft. This shot is both -100s and -200s, all done on the -100 paint kit, as I can get away with it for first-generation -200s (several painters have done this). :{)

Awesome stuff!!!
The HJG AI L-1011 is still in development, but they have a -500 in progress too. I can't wait to retire the DWAI\CDAI L-1011s, seems like such a waste to have people with your talent working on these old and odd-looking frames. But you really brought those 2 ATA birds to life, well done!
