Airfix Frog Matchbox CzechMaster Resin The first three are rather basic and have some inaccuracies. The last blows them away but is very expensive. Pays your money, takes your choice!

I was thinking a Coastal Command camo whif, complete with D-Day stripes. Perhaps some 60lb rockets under the wings.

Wouldn't it be great if an aftermarket company produced these? After all, there have been many new FAA kits in recent years in all scales, so they must be popular......

Had mine for about 3 weeks now, and its really nice. Am completing the interior, but put it on hold ofr now while I wait for the Big Ed set. Its not all applicable, but will really help the cockpit and cabin, and with the grills.

Nice work Richard. Really must get mine done at some point.......

Now perhaps a range of 1/48 RAF vehicles? Ambulance, bowser, tractor and bomb trolleys? How about it, Tamiya-san?

You're welcome!

You need one of these: http://www.discountmodels.com/color_ross_reference_chart.htm I presume you've tried the usual suspects? http://fbriere.free.fr/250/paint.htm http://www.aoou52.dsl.pipex.com/paint.htm Hope this is of some use!

Already have those, but thanks anyway!!

Oooh, thanks Karl! Very useful indeed.

Cheers Mr. Boots, I have got a hold of SAM from another source, I just need to be able to unzip the files so I can read it...... From the Matchbox and Italeri kits, we already know that ZA711 was ET. From airliners.net, we also see that ZA705 was EZ. I'm hoping the SAM files will provide more clues. THanks for the help so far!

Thanks, I appreciate it! Both the Italeri and matchbox kits come with BritForLeb markings, but there were 4 (?) a/c deployed.

I am making the Italeri 1/48 HC.1. Does anyone have any decent photos of the Chinooks that participated in the 1984 BritForLeb deployment, please? And a list of serial/code tie-ups, perchance? I'm also looking for general photos of the interior, cockpit and main cabin, of an RAF HC.1. TIA!
