Photos Indian naval aviation BN-2T islander, 1/48 scale model

[Orkodeep]

Presenting you IN139, Britten Norman Islander BN-2T of the Indian Navy based out of Kochi (COC) of INAS 550 (Flying fish).
The Indian navy acquired a total of 17 aircraft in 1976, 6 were upgraded to 2T standard in 1996-97.
All retired in 2016 and the squadron converted to Dornier 228.
The Turbine Islander is based on BN-2A-26 with two 320 shp (240 kW) Allison 250-B17C turboprops.

Apologies for the crumpled base. The model is a tail sitter, hence the bespoke acrylic support.....

You completely fooled me! I have that model in 1/72 scale, so I thought this one was that scale too! My sincerest congratulations—it turned out absolutely fabulous!
