    Nice build my friend.The livery its good enough.
    And Speakin bout OA (Short for Olympic Airways).The Skyvan has been in the OA from the 60s all the way to the 2018 (from its og name all the way to the rename to Olympic Air).Its use.?
    Operate at small airports with rough gravel paved runways (back at the time greece (my country tbh) had some airports that doesnt have Tarmac paved ones) cus greece has need to be improved in Airports.They order 4 of them to be operate even in an Airport without tarmac paved runways.They have them even when Olympic Airways change is name from the Olympic Airways.to the same name but the Airways without the last word on it.And sadly.They Retired all the 4 Skyvans in 2018 .they have them for almost 48 years Which for me is a major mistake to retire such an great aircraft with history in the Greek Aviation.Now Olympic Air opperates with ATRs and Dash 8s only.(which in other words.it does flights all around Greece and not outside Greece like the Old OA does it once an upon time).anyways thats all who i need to say.I wish to u to make another Aircrafts that Olympic Airways have em back when OA has been OA .Like the Yak-40 (Cus greece even used to have an Soviet Aircraft) or the YS-11.End my comment here.Greetings from my country 🇬🇷 and keep do such good builds..👍

    This aircraft is so cool with cool livery but engines explode upon take off and it doesn't have balanced flying. Kindly if you can fix that 🙏🙏

    @jetnyan Olympic air has great planes to build. Good job for choosing it and awaken so many wonderful memories. Hope to see another historic airplane from the airline. Happy flights.
