New in the Aviation Art ZM (for Zdeňka Macháčka) facebook page is a Fairey Britten Norman BN-2 Islander illustration. Considering Zdeňka Macháčka is the designer from most of the Valom and Fly kits box art... Wait and see. Some persistent rumours say it'll be a 1/48th kit. Keep my fingers crossed for a 1/48th BN-2 Islander complete family (Islander, Turbo Islander, Defender & Trislander). Just think of the uncredible number of military and civil schemes as well as variants for such a kit! Source: https://www.facebook.com/208070375871052/photos/a.208144655863624. -
With the Valom 1/48 Islander available, it opens up opportunity to tackle a less known aircraft that was sent to the Far East. Defender c/n 235 was sent to Singapore in 1972 for a sales pitch to the Singapore Air Defence Command (SADC) and was registered 9V-BDT. The SADC chose the Skyvan instead and 9V-BDT was later sold to Airfast in Indonesia. I wonder whether the registration 9V-BDT was also painted below the wings as none of the photos I have seen have visibility of that area. Also hoping that Valom will provide the pylons for a Defender in a future release. https:

What could be easier ......new floor and interior, two new photographic windows in the rear door and port panel, make a FLIR setup and get some decals.Simples......(what have I let myself in for this time?) Having flown in this aircraft for 3 years waking most of Teesside and the North East I definitely have a huge soft spot for it, so couldn't resist

Prompted by the Nigellicus creature, I decided to throw this WIP out here. I started this as light entertainment diversion after a couple of prolonged and complicated builds, the latest of which is still ongoing. As this is a diversion, I probably won't be updating regularly, and I am going to be doing this as much out of the box as possible (for me that is!). The plan is to complete this build as HKG-7 of the RHKAAF, an aircraft I actually (very briefly) had the controls of while flying over Hong Kong many, many years ago. (Those pilot people never trusted us groundcrew much!) In addition
