Yes you are right. I went out there and got some detailed pictures of it for a person who was going to build one for flight sim. There was one for fs 98 and one for 2002 I think would like to see for FSX.
When i saw the aircraft at Pakenham it was looking very rough a few years later i spotted it at YMMB and it looked a lot better. When I was skiing in NZ last year I drove past Lake Tekapo they have some N24s there. There is a really good DVD out on the N24 if was filmed in NZ where they seem to operate this aircraft with not much fuss.
