Hello all
Here is a interesting repaint I made, maybe a lot of you folks don't know about Bophuthatswana so here is the time to do some learning...:wiggle:
This is a repaint of the Bophuthatswana Defence Force Pilatus PC-7 painted in its delivery camo scheme of Dark Earth, Olive Drab top surfaces and Light Admirality Grey Undersurfaes. This same colour scheme was used intermediately experimentally by the SAAF on their Mirage F1AZ during the bushwar. The Boputhatswana Defence Force purchased three (T-400, T-410, T420) PC-7's in 1989 and it was delivered in January 1990. In 1992 the Leopard Aerobatic Team was formed using the BAF PC-7's and they participated at numerious local airshows around South Africa. By March 1993 Boputhatswana collapsed and it was all over. The SAAF acquired the three PC-7 training aircraft when the aircraft of the Boputhatswana Defence Force were incorporated into the SAAF in 1994. The Bophuthatswana Defence Force aircraft did not received SAAF serials prior to being sold.
A Search at http://www.flightsim.com (http://www.flightsim.com/) or http://www.avsim.com (http://www.avsim.com/) must be done to obtain the freeware "PC-7 " or "pc7_pak.zip" from Tim Piglet Conrad.
I have also added many screenshots of the repaint so you can get a good perspective of how it looks and the using the repaint was made with the paintkit by Tim Piglet Conrads.
I have uploaded the repaint at http://www.flightsim.com (http://www.flightsim.com/) so be sure to check it out! Make a search for either SAAF or Pieters, if the repaints do not show yet it maybe due to the servers not showing them yet.
I have included a few screenshots below to show you how it looks...
