That would be Rick Pipers Argosy available on Avsim: "aw650v1_176829.zip" It is very good apparently but I haven't got around to downloading it yet but is on my must do list.

Here is another bit of Kiwi history

My favourite era in NZ commercial aviation !!!
The NAC "Wings of the Nation" era ,....... also, in my humble opinion, one of the BEST liveries ever worn by a commercial aircraft in New Zealand.
Looked beautiful on the B732s and F27s. Pity the Viscount got retired before it got a chance to wear this livery..........
Hmmmmm,.............. there's an idea,............. a Rick Piper's Viscount 800 in a ficticious NAC Wings of the Nation livery !!

Must....resist....urge.....

I agree. NAC is my favourite Kiwi fixed-wing operator. Love the airline and the aircraft. Expect to see a LOT of NAC-related screenies of me in the next little while.

F-27............ Mike Stone's model. F27-200, and F27-500.
NZ Paints available for the F27-200 are early Red/Black/White NAC "Jet-Prop Friendship", Red/Orange NAC "Wings of the Nation", Red/Orange Air New Zealand, Blue/Green Air New Zealand, New Zealand Post.
Only NZ paint ive found for his F27-500 is the early Red/Black NAC "Jet-Prop Friendship".
There are loads of other overseas liveries for them, including aussie liveries.
I use a panel from the Convair-580, looks fairly good, and is pretty much the right shape, and has all the right instruments and layout of the era.
A few good sound sets out there too, for the Rolls Royce Dart turboprops,............... a VERY UNIQUE sound !!
The sounds and panel that come with the model, are a bit basic, so look for the others.

I use the biggest Dart soundset I could find on FlightSim with my Mike Stone Friendship, and a very nice panel I found by Fraser A McKay. Comes with overhead panels too! Very satisfying, but bring on a payware one!
