Eggcellent. I'm Eggcited about this one! cheers Rodney

Sorry to disapoint but that's not Lord Casey's aircraft, it's a mark one painted to look like a mark 4.It did not serve in the RAAF. Pretty cool though.I'm thinking of using the Dora Wings kit to model it in that "museum" scheme. cheers Rodney

Hi, I am in need of assistence (Help)! I've started modelling a 1/48 scale Swordfish which needs to be finished by mid next week.A month ago I order the Airways Graphics AGM489 sheet featuring W5856 in the prewar grey/silver/black scheme. Here is the problem, the decals are yet to arrive (ordered a few weeks ago from the UK)and it is time to paint.I have many references, warpaint no12 etc but I need the decal sheet instructions. Can anyone email me a scan so that I can get it "right" before my decals arrive (fingers crossed any day now (except tomorrow which is a public holiday here - ANZAC Day). I have searched the internet but the images are too small and unreadable. I only have 5 days to get it together. All the best Cheers Rodney

So, apart from the book, the numerous decal choices,the repoped B-24, the rockets, the armament, the new sprues,and Brassin, what has Eduard ever done for us? (Sorry I couldn't help myself having a flashback to the Romans). "Keep smiling while you still have teeth" Cheers Rod

Hi, I was stationed in Singleton and used to drive that way passed it but I crossed it on my many trips between Sydney and Townsville via that road.I can remember waiting for it to close and finding it quite narrow. I am off to google maps to refresh my memory! I'm to busy with work at present to model so at least I can watch your mastery! cheers Rod

I seal foam with watered down white glue, sometimes use plaster & then seal with white glue.Loving watching the build, I use to drive over that bridge often. Cheers Rodney

A pair of Blue Tits would be nice! I've got the Owl and the Woodpecker. But I would settle for a new tool 1/72 Mosquito, RAAF decals preferred. Cheers

Cool thanks Mike! cheers Rod

Hi, I'm looking to build a model of the Kon Tiki. There is a Mantua kit 1/18 and some out of China 1/16 (on ebay). I can't find a reasonable set of drawings, does anyone know of any? (what I have found on the web so far is pretty crummy.) If I can source scaled drawings I'll scratch build it, if not I'll look at an existing kit. Has anyone had a go at the Kon Tiki.I loved reading about it as a lad and want to build a good quality model. Cheers Rodney

Hi, Working on a 1940's Rome street scene, I have to find a good colour for paving stones Looks like a grey would suit? Any recommendations in Humbrol/Model master or AV? Cheers Rod

Hi all, I still have a question is it sand or a green? Instructions list Humbrol 102 (Matt Army green)but Sabbia is sand is it not?(I take it that it could be Giallo Sabbia scuro (lifecolor UA 218) OR Humbrol 102 any guess which one best suits a AB41 in Tunsia 1943? cheers Rod
