About product

Valom 1:48, Britten-Norman BN-2B, Danish markings

A plastic kit of the twin-engine light multipurpose aircraft Britten-Norman BN-2B in 1:48 scale from the Czech manufacturer Valom, in a form for Danish users. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. With a small transport aircraft 1:48 scale means a pleasantly large model with well legible detail.

The real subject

The Britten-Norman Islander is a British twin-engine high-wing aircraft with fixed landing gear, designed as a simple and undemanding machine for short routes and operation from unpaved surfaces. It made its name with regional carriers, with police and patrol services and with the armed forces of a number of countries, where it is used for patrol, communications and transport tasks. The designation BN-2B corresponds to a later production form of the basic line. Its robust structure and very long production history made it one of the most widespread light twin-engine aircraft of all.

Building and painting tips

Three places deserve the main attention: the joint of the wing with the fuselage, the engine nacelles and the extensive glazing. Offer the wing up dry and handle any gaps by packing them out rather than with filler alone, since the geometry of a high-wing aircraft is well apparent at first glance. Assemble and clean the nacelles up separately. Mask the glazing panel by panel with masking tape cut into strips, or with a suitable mask; the cockpit is well visible in this scale, so it pays to fit it out at least with seats and an instrument panel in a realistic shade. Spray the paint with an airbrush in thin layers and seal the surface with gloss clear before the decals.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in civil and patrol aviation hardware
  • Collectors of Scandinavian aviation
  • Modelers who want an atypical subject for the display case
  • Builders with experience of glazing and filling joints

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The Islander is an undemanding twin-engine machine for short routes, patrol and communications tasks and operation from unpaved surfaces.

The number of parts and the contents of the package are given by the kit instructions.

Rather for the slightly advanced. The extensive glazing and the joint of the wing with the fuselage call for careful masking and cleaning up.

Mask the glazing panel by panel with strips of masking tape, or use ready-made masks if they are available for the model in question.
