I hate like hell to ruin your day .... BUT .... we can't ! What you've got there is an RJ85 .... basically an equivalent to the BAe 146-200. Our models all represent the RJ100 .... or .... BAe 146-300 .... which is a slightly longer aircraft than the -200 .... and quite a bit bigger than the original -100 series too. Despite our very best efforts, to date, I sincerely doubt we're now ever going to see BAe 146-100, or -200 .... or their equivalent ARJ series aircraft models here now .... unfortunately !

We didn't do that one though !
It was done by Jon MURCHISON, of ARNZ, then inherited by us "as part of the deal" when we first lauched his BAe/ARJ project here .... considering we, at that time, had no BAe 16-300/RJ-100 textures of our own to offer.
The livery model discrepency was realized shortly afterward. Our intention, at the time, was to "remove" that particular file .... later .... only this's obviously been overlooked due to "other priorities" here.
There's a couple of other BAe 146-300's which also fall into this same category and which will likely be removed in due course too !
We/HJG .... generally paint only those aircraft type/livery combinations which actually exist/existed in the realworld too .... and that first appeal to our painting team also.

I agree .... but .... unless someone can produce "proof" that a BAe 146-300/RJ-100 did actually appear in this, or the other, NW livery, then we will, eventually, be withdrawing the curent file .... along with those other couple of inherited files I hinted regarding above. I think the vast majority of US registred/operated BAe146/ARJ aircraft were in fact the short fuselage versions .... which unfortunately we don't currently, it seems, have any viable future 3D model prospects for .... since our original anticipated plans seem not to have come to fruition Mark C AKL/NZ

I did some digging around my fs hanger, and actually found an old fs Bae146-200 in the bowling shoe, i have no idea where i got it, but if your interested i could send it to you, its a really nice repaint and if the aircraft info is correct, the model was originally done by Jon Murchison.

"BOOMER727" .... thanks for your efforts It was Jon MURCHISON who was redeveloping his own BAe146-200 model for both ARNZ and HJG use. So far as we've been advised .... more than 1 year ago .... Jon suddenly ran into compilation problems with the new model and has apparently not been able to resolve these. None of us have heard from Jon, since, and there may be good private reason for that .... which we can't delve into and have all got to respect. For this reason .... if Jon wanted to offer his earlier model to us then that might be an acceptable proposition subject to Tony's approval .... BUT .... under the current circumstances .... I feel .... Jon's first got to make such offer to us. I'd rather not chase him at this time .... only because I don't want to risk our approaches to him being perceived as pressuring the guy .... if you can sense what I mean Mark C AKL/NZ
