  1. So cool! I made mine some years back with the white missile and yellow boosters before I realised that how they actually looked was how you've done it here. Yours looks amazing - well done!
  2. Good choice! I am hoping to build mine (the most recent issue) in this GB too...but I probably won't get to it so I'll enjoy following your build instead! Good luck!
  3. hey, you're right. Already out in some European stores according to this: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-03804-alouette-ii--1521817 It's the Luftwaffe version; I would have preferred the anti tank one, oh well. It's probably about A$65 here, maybe a bit much I think!
  4. I always wanted that kit! Needless to say I didn't buy it the one opportunity I had! Look forward to seeing yours.
  5. Looking good. It's a cool helo the Mi-4 - China had them and at the old museum in Beijing you could get inside one I think. Side note - the company name was Plasticart. "VEB" was apparently a company structure, a little like in English how we say Airfix Pty Ltd. Calling it VEB is like calling airfix "Pty ltd" or calling Revell "GmbH". Although let's be real, every non-former-East Bloc modeller by now calls it VEB! 😀
  6. Also where did you get that kit? I've looked all over for a 1/72 707 and can't find one for under like 150 shipped.
  7. That's a long time in Canberra, friend! (Born here, now back here...) Although one thing I'll never forget is seeing the Qantas 707 and a RAAF 707 in loose formation over LBG one day, must have been in the very late 90s or early 00s.
  8. As most of you probably know, this kit comes with two props and two canopy types. The instructions give no insight on which one to use! I got off to a minor start over the weekend. We were down at the beach at a holiday house and man it was so hot that we couldn't actually face and afternoon at the beach; then my wife passed out for a nap (she works incredibly hard so she deserved it) and I was there with our nine year old...what to do? So I had her help me start this kit by painting up the cockpit area. I'd conveniently brought it and a few supplies along for exactly this scenario. She's very precise - I guess I taught her well. We didn't get far as I'd forgotten the green that would go in the cockpit so we just did the radio bay, the cockpit floor and the instrument panel. But that kept her entertained for a while and also got this one out of the blocks.
  9. When I was a wee thing we lived in the UK for a year and Action Man was probably my best friend (wasn't easy for a kid from Australia in late 70s England!). So, yes, welcome old friend! Welcome with that excellent choice. I had a blast building it last year or the year before in the MB GB.
  10. Amazing! If mine looks half this good I'll be a happy camper. Thanks for the thorough write up, too - full of good tips!
  11. Late to this party because I couldn't find this guy in my stash...until today. i started this years ago but all I did was paint a few bits black and cut them off. I just test fitted it and man, it's pretty good. In my memory this kit was really crappy but now that I see it again I think it will make a nice model.
