A couple of C185F paints

[peter12213]

I agree its rare to see really dirty weathered ones they are obviously much loved, however I do like the look of your new paints and I will be downloading them, so thanks anyway!

Is there any chance of you trying this one?

 

[jetstreamsky]

Sure, I have one other in the works almost complete, but then I can conjure this one up, it's a fairly straight forward scheme. Do you have some history with this aircraft?

No not personally, I just find the scheme rather attractive, I always think that red painted cessna's look nice!

Its had a small caption of history next to the photo it reads ...

Above is Harvie Beetham's Cessna A185F ZK-NRC . c/n A185F-02860. This aircraft had served in Malasia and Singapore before coming to NZ to become ZK-TAL1 on 28-05-1979 for Taupo Air Services. It was damaged at Martins Bay, Stewart Island in march 0f 1983 and eventually cancelled in 1992. It was rebuilt incorporating parts from another C185 and a set of new wings and became ZK-NRC on 22-11-1999. It lives at Kai Tak, out the back of Dannevirke NZ.

I found this other rather unusual one too..

I'm afraid I can't find any history or photos or even an area of opperations for this one though!

It's had a bit of a chequered history then, as there's a NZ accident report where it broke the left main gear and flipped on it's back in 2005.

The yellow aircraft is owned by. Barr Air Patrol Llc, seems to be based in the Vancouver area to.

ohh I would keen on any NZ repaint...:salute:

 

[jetstreamsky]

So here's one more N reg, only in Amphibious form (as per the real aircraft) though as the Carenado patch addressed the rudder mapping on this version only.

Cool thanks!

 

[jetstreamsky]

[Naki]

Loks great!..can the paint be also used for land plane version?

Here is N525JB as a Tundra variant.
Needs a little mud added to it.

Jetstreamsky, you did a nice job on the textures.

View attachment 6419How about a repaint of this one? I photographed it yesterday at KDYL, in PA.

 

[jetstreamsky]

ZK-NRC can be found here http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1209

 

[jetstreamsky]

RSGunner, mud, yes I got to look into that still, glad you're enjoying N525JB, even if it is mostly clean.

That's a cracking shot you got there SkyHawk, haven't found any others of it on the net, but looks straight forward except for all those chequers !

 

[jetstreamsky]
