Nice livery - was that originally the Team KBT model, who also did the Orion?

The model is from Inibuild and was released last week. The paint scheme, as well as that of the other aircraft in the other post, is from turtletank and can be found at Flightsim.to. I hope that other repainters will also give this model a chance. This aircraft has certainly found its buyers and enjoyed a long service life. The last one was only decommissioned in 2024. A total of 182 aircraft were built.
