I am building this kit as 1 of a group of many small twin STOL props to be used in a diorama of an airfield similar to that of Lands End Airport which will sit with a layout.
My original description was abit of an understatement......
So this has turned from a 4 part build to quite alot of builds!
The Airport diorama in question is a fictional one called Hoton Radford Airport which is based on the ex RAF Wymswold Airbase.
The plan for the Skyvan is to have an interchangeable cabin.
I plan on building up the original passenger cabin provided in the kit with the baggage shelf at the back but separate it from the cockpit so that it can be lifted out of the open back door and replaced with either a cargo hold floor or one suited to sky divers.
I will still be having it in NASA but here is her back story:
After her service with NASA came to an end, N430NA was stripped of her top secret equipment and Leased to Skydive UK along with Evergreen's Casa C-41.
