Savenosouls Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I'm posting in the hope that someone might be able to assist ( I know from other posts how helpful most are on the forum). Can anyone help me identify the following aircraft and give me pointers on how I could model it in 1/72 I understand it is used inter island on the Falklands - my 9 year old nephew flew on it recently and got to sit in the co- pilots seat!, Along with a tour of a Hercules, tristar, typhoon and a tour round the helicopter search and rescue (lucky wee boy) - I'd like to try and build him a model of the plane in the pic Thanks in advance for any assistance Regards Gordon Edited April 25, 2014 by Savenosouls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brown Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hmm, try here: http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?search=Islander Can't see that one listed though. Not a bad kit, but quite expensive. It's on my want list too. Rick. It doesn't look too difficult a paint job though. Standard letter decals from Hannants maybe? Rick.

Thanks again Rick - might give it a go - don't fancy the Hercules - too big - I have photo of the lucky little swine in the Pilots seat of the Hercules with the electronic instrument panel activated!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
