Hi Everyone

I was wondering if there is a repaint for the Tinmouse 737 200 in the colors of ZK-NQC, picture link here http://jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=6945811&nseq=0 - or If any one was able to make one for me

Cheers

Not yet, I'd be happy to do one though, love the 732, and that aircraft has a great NZ history. I'll knock it out over the next week unless anyone else has a burning desire

Work in progress, some stuff still to do, rego under the wings, resize the CourierPost logo a little, and alpha layer stuff on the powerplants and wing edges...

Haha.. yeah she's an old war-horse NQC all right, funny to see it parked up at Auckland now with that spick-n-span glossy yellow paint-job. Looks brand new laugh.gif

Some useless info Re: the real world ZK-NQC according to another forum NQC is off oversea's on a six months charter with ZK-FXT taking over NQC's run presently and throughout that period.

Awesome pics Dash8, thanks for posting those, hilighted a few more things I missed, the air intakes colour, nose-gear covers rego codes, cockpit trim colour (is all yellow, whereas its silver in the repaint kit), and the fact that the logo is on the bottom on the starboard side of the tail, hadn't spotted that in any other pics thumbup1.gif

As mentioned have also resized the logo and text on the stabiliser, added the rego under the port wing, and recoloured the dark strip on the base of the cargo door, and repositioned a few hazard/warning decals on the engine casings. Not super happy with the alpha effect on the powerplants but apart from that I reckon it worked out ok. Have released it to flightsim.com and avsim.com so should appear there shortly. Search for ZK-NQC or filename B732-NQC-CourierPost.zip. Here's a couple of updated screenies, enjoy biggrin.gif

Then again may be wrong apparently ZK-NQC visited Hamilton last night with an engine replacement for ZK-NGD.

The fate of QC as of yesterday is undecided, there was talk of a lease overseas but nothing confirmed yet. It does still fly the post occasionally while they iron all the bugs out of FXT.
