1/72 Fokker F-27 VTOL / Bell Boeing transport

The NLM is a daughter company of the KLM, more for inland flights which I enjoyed once because my brother was some years a pilot for the NLM.  Later they put in big letters Cityhopper on their planes, but I believe that the only real Cityhopper must be a VTOL because only these can land in the middle of a city perhaps on some buildings.

The wings of the Fokker went to a Bell Boeing Osprey hull but I used old paint which took more than a week to dry.

In my fantasy the plane is from another subcompany of Arcair named Carcare for the transport of cars

Further changes are bigger mainwheels for the Carcare and I split a fuel tank to suggest room for the mainwheels of the Fokker.

Both planes are 1:72.
