Hobby Master 200 Ozark Airlines Fokker Fairchild Hiller F-277B N4300F
N4300F was delivered to Ozark July 16 1959 till leased to Wien Air Alaska May, 1967. It was leased by Interior Airlines Jan., 1968. Eventually this aircraft burned on the ground in Omega, Namibia May 17, 1984.

There is only 1 image of this aircraft on Airliners.net: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Ozark-Air-Lines/Fairchild-F-27/0129399/L/&sid=fd9c5b3ac14cf894e2f25d83ab4ed3c1 The image is in the is in slightly different colors than the model.

The model has no green on the engines nor through the passenger windows. The nose and cockpit are are off a bit. The black color is confined to just the nose while behind it there is green on the original aircraft.

This replica is in the delivery colors which were later modified to expand the green on different parts of the aircraft.

The landing gear look a little funky to me. The nose gear cover is too far toward the nose and the nose gear is slightly short. The main gear is okay. There is an antenna aft of the cockpit and it is properly placed but might be just a touch larger than it ought to be on the replica.

This image from A-Net best matches the colors this model is in. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Ozark-Air-Lines/Fairchild-Hiller-FH-227B/0663282/L/&sid=3c875a22ee9e164ebabdbb52691ae5e9

With some of its quirks, still and glad to have this model in my collection.
