1/48 - Fairey Britten Norman BN-2A/B & T (Turbo) Islander by Valom - released - new boxing

Recommended Posts

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. B)

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!

Facebook post doesn't seem to mention a scale (if indeed its for a kit), only someone hoping for 1/48 kit? More likely in 1/72 maybe?

Scrub that, just noticed '48' in one of the posts....

Though the last question: Valom or FLY ?

Yet again the small producers get it right while the likes of Tamigawaduard manage to churn out the tedious and all-too-familiar. I hope it sells and might be tempted to do a Belize Defence Force version.

I will be venturing into 1/48 scale for this release, particularly the military boxing's and can I assume their will be more than one military boxing ??

Can I hope for a new kit of these in 1/72 as well ??

A 1:48 Twotter would be the dog's whatnots. There is one already, but it's more a travel agent's model than anything else and would be a pig to turn into a proper replica. And so many more liveries!

Gotta hope someone does a conversion for an AEW Defender!

Being a Southend lad, I'll be opting for any of the Harvest Air fleet from the 1980s. 

 

Hope to see a new 1/72 kit too. I like the Airfix kit a lot, but the eBay prices are silly.

Something for AlleyCat, Freightdog Models or Aircraft In Miniature, my two cents...

The first one I want to do is a Rhodesian one.

Mudzi%20RhAF%20Britten%20Norman%20Island

 

Then some puddle jumpers from the Caribbean islands. St. Maarten, St. Barts, etc.
 

 

 

 

Would love to see this evolve into other models as well. Like this.
