WHAT IF? A Skyservant for New Zealand Post!
« on: February 06, 2022, 04:06:47 AM »
One of my favourite models as a kid was Matchbox’s 1/72 Dornier Do-28D Skyservant, I think because it reminded me of the GAF Nomad, and I’ve liked the look of the type ever since.

A few years back I thought it’d be amusing to build one in CourierPost delivery van colours inspired by DHL's aircraft fleet

I acquired the kit recently and, with innumerable thanks to PR19_Kit, the DHL/CourierPost decals for ZK-PKG were produced (I handpainted the NZ Post logo on the fin...which in real life was rebranded several months later!!) and my weird idea was finished this morning!
