bernd1151 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Recently crowned King Tupou VI of Tonga wanted to visit some of his subjects, who have emigrated to Samoa. After his arrival he was asked to use one of the Samoa Government helicopters in order to be able to land at places that do not have airstrips Luckily the heli is big enough to carry also part of the king’s entourage The king was satisfied with his royal tour, I hope you are too and don’t mind that I posted so many pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks, Sammy. I used a paint that I found on avsim if I can remember correctly. It was for the Hong Kong government, which I adopted then for the Samoan government. I also added a few luxuries inside. I hope the Hong Kong-Chinese didn't mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
