Airfix 1/72 BN Islander operated by Milford Sound Flightseeing

That came up nicely mate

Very neat looking model , well done . You don't see to many of these built , it came out a treat .

Came up good Capt wannabe, good work mate..I think salty flew islanders for a short time.. That's why he's a bit deaf!!

Nice job there Damo - never been in a Islander, but they're supplied to be good & rugged twins aren't they?

What's the story behind this bird?

Say what?
Huh?
Speak up...oh. Islanders?
Yeh great aeroplanes. PNG...noisy though.

Great model of a great aeroplane. What a workhorse.

Cheers, gents (I can refer to y'all as "gents", can't I? )

This particular kit was presented to me mid-last year to build for the Northern Area Modellers annual club comp. It was a *lot* of work, sanding off all the rivets and other external details, which were way over-scale, and getting the paint as right as I could. I also had to find a replacement kit, 'cos I royally stuffed the original I had. The third photo shows it next to the trophy I was awarded for first place
