This is a skin for Mike Stone's Grumman JRF Goose. It was a former Royal Navy plane returned to the U.S. Navy and then passed on to the New York City Police Department, where it served from 1947 to 1955. A Goose in a close approximation of this livery resides in a museum hangar at the former Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn where it was based while in service.

Included is a model file that has the 3D model visible from within so you can look out the windscreen and side windows as if in a virtual cockpit (but without an instrument panel.) You'll have to adjust your VC eyepoint in the aircraft.cfg file in order to use it. These coordinates work pretty well:

[Views]
eyepoint = 3.5, -1.2, 1.25 //Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical (feet)

Thanks to NormB for teaching me how to do that.

Painted by Mick from artwork in Aeroplane Monthly and photos of the museum plane, which do not match in a couple respects so I had to decide which seemed more likely to be authentic for the real plane during its service with the NY Police.
