About product

Caracal Models 1:48 Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander

Markings in 1:48 scale for the Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander, a general-purpose light aircraft of a kind that appears among models only rarely. The sheet is intended to finish an airframe that has been built; the kit, paints and varnish are not included. The extent of the markings is not stated here, because the name of the product does not give it.

A workhorse of short routes

The Islander first flew in the middle of the 1960s, and its brief was simple: to carry a few passengers or cargo from a short, unpaved strip, with no demands on servicing facilities. The design matches that: a high-set straight wing, fixed landing gear and two piston engines in nacelles on the wing. Thanks to its modest needs the type found a place on island and regional routes all over the world, but also in ambulance, police and surveillance service. It is among the longest-produced aircraft of its category and is still in service.

Advice on finishing the model

Civilian machines tend to have large areas of light paint, where every unevenness under the markings shows, so polish the surface smooth before the intermediate coat. The cockpit glazing on the Islander is extensive, so mask the window frames before you start on the lettering on the fuselage.

Who will find it useful

  • Anyone interested in civilian and utility aircraft
  • Modelers looking for an unconventional theme
  • Builders of short takeoff and landing aircraft
  • Dioramas with a small airfield or a landing strip

FAQ

It is a light general-purpose aircraft for short routes and unpaved strips, used both privately and in state service.

The contents of the sheet are not stated here. The name of the product does not specify them, and particular registrations would have to be guessed.

You do not. These are markings in their own right, intended for a model you build separately.
