Hi, folks!

Maybe the quite restrictive repaint policy of its creators isn't too inviting for repainters, but I couldn't resist in doing this one:

It's a repaint for the Veneaviones Rockwell Turbo Commander 690B, depicting ZK-PVB of New Zealand Aerial Mapping Ltd:

Let's hope the AVSIM library managers won't screw up my upload, as I'm not allowed to upload it anywhere else...
Should be available soon.

Cheers,
Markus.

That is a handsome aircraft and livery, should've been done long ago.
Well spotted, and thank you, Markus!

Edit:
And it has indeed shown up at AVSIM, download in progress!

Markus, you will hate me for this...
The Hartzell logo on the prop blades is mirrored :wiggle:

Thank you for this kind feedback, gents! :salute:

@ Charl:
No offense taken, mate!
I didn't even touch the prop blade textures, so it wasn't my fault... :d

Next one will be ZK-CDK on Milton's AC 680F... :jump:
