I bought myself a new toy, and thought I'd begin with something you might like and simple enough...

Nice!!

Is that your own repaint or is it available somewhere for download? Fits in well with RealNZ Southern Lakes scenery.....

smooth landings.

Awsome, where can we get it? This caravan is an awsome looking plane simply because carenado did an outstanding job on the modeling. Do you know how many of these aircrft are registered in NZ?

There are ten Caravans registered in NZ currently. The four listed above plus SRI (as painted)
Also:

SKB (Air Milford)
KPH (Skydive Queenstown)

Nice paint Jankees...to be pedantic the Caravans that Charl quoted are the 208s (which Carenado has modelled) currently registered in NZ - the others are the stretched 208Bs (or Grand Caravans)

Heres some info on one of the 208s - ZK-PMT (operated by Skydive Tandem)

http://nzcivair.blogspot.com/2009/08/beaut...van-zk-pmt.html

..and ZK-SKB operated by Air Milford

http://jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?regsearch=ZK-SKB

The other two are operated by SoundsAir - there is a repaint of Carenado 2068 out there for one of those.

Yes sorry for confusion, I thought he was referring to Caravans in general. Looking at the repaint of SRI - It is a 208B anyway isn't it?? So is this not a Carenado model?

Posted: **Sat Feb 26, 2011 9:48 pm**

Yes SRI is a 208B and the Carenado model is a 208 but it does'nt really matter as its hard to tell the difference without comparing them side by side.

Check out this different Caravan which has recently arrived:

So whose model is the one that Jankees has repainted in the original post? Because it's a Grand Caravan - you only have to count the windows down the side.

so sorry for the confusion, it's the carenado model.

I hope to finish this paint this weekend, together with these two:

and more to come later...

Posted: **Fri Mar 04, 2011 7:56 pm**

Loving ZK-MYH - I commuted from Blenheim to Wellington on a weekly basis for 14 months and must have made 70-80 flights in MYH over that time.
