That is one hell of a nice looking aircraft.

I think when Manfred dose the LC/C-117D it would really catch my attention , he has not stopped at the one variant so i'm guessing that one is only around corner ice block shop .

[jankees]

I know he is working on an update to the C-47 / DC-3 package, to bring it to the level of this one (which is the C-117D btw).
Meanwhile, you can find ZK-AQU here

Hi JK I think you have the name wrong it should be "PIHOIHOI"

Here we go JK , from the book and publication by Tony Phillips , ' "Gateway to the Ice" Christchurch International Airport - Antarctic Air Links from 1955 ' one for your shelf .

Very nice repaints and paintwork Jan. I am impressed. (Hope you have your paintbox ready for the Just Flight DC-8. Air NZ and JAL are top of my list!)

This is a very, very, good aeroplane and a welcome addition to my crazy collection. Have not given it a real work out yet. Simple circuits are not a drama at all even with Accusim to mess you up. If Manfred can fix the interior of the standard C-47/DC-3 he has my vote for modeller of the decade. His C-47 is the most accurate their is in FSX world and the most realistic C-47 around, the level of detail is excellent, but being stuck with the crappy MS default cockpit is a real pain. This C117 is just great.

That's what you get when working with crappy photos for an example, and I know next to nothing about the Maori language...I'll see if I can change things


Bendyflyer: we'll have to wait and see with the DC-8. Ever wondered why there are so few paints for JF aircraft?

[BendyFlyer]

Ah, decisions, decisions

I also notice that the wheel pod under the engines are not on the original here are some photos of ZK-AQU

If you place your mouse on the plane then go to the right side arrow and get some more photos of ZK-AQU

[jankees]

but the original is a DC-3 and my paint is for the C-117D....give me some artistic license please...
as for the name:

Meanwhile, for cruising the Caribbean:

[Ian Warren]

Way i pronounce many Maori words ... .. back in my day at school was Taupo and pronounced Towerpo .. today common on the TV news its now Twopoo

[Ian Warren]

Donald Wills Douglas would be happy with that

[AdrianPetford]

I've been trying to resist this new Jahn marvel as I'm currently bogged down with installing scenery and other repaints.

Then I saw Jan Kees' new paints. That didn't last long. Installed!

Great work JK
