  1. FWIW, in their 1/72 Sun Run kit 72131 Valom have the colour of the stripes on 60165 as bright red FS11136. Richard in NZ
  2. What colour were the two cylinders carried on the fuselage decking (behind the pilot) on the Tempest F2 and F6? Trying to resolve conflicting info here. TIA! Richard in NZ
  3. Thank you all. I think I will trust Dick Ward's artwork as to the tail, and go with WK671 for the serial. Again, many thanks. Richard in NZ
  4. The old Profile shows 600's squadron leader's aircraft in camouflage, clear canopy, with a white tail. Is this accurate (I can find no photo) and, if yes, can anyone advise me of the serial? Many thanks. Richard in NZ
  5. Beautiful work Anthony, on a classic NZ subject. I have photos of a 12yo me standing on CCG in Ron Fechney's barn in the late 1960s, thank you for the reminder of happy times. Richard in NZ
  6. Thank you all, I will scout around as suggested. Richard in NZ
  7. I have recently found three of the 1960s Airfix 1/12 figure kits in a long-lost box. They are Richard 1, Charles 1 and the Yeoman of the Guard. All are complete, unstarted, and like new - the box colours are bright and unfaded. My question is, is there any market for these? Are they so-called "collectors' items" or old junk? Any advice would be appreciated, many thanks. Richard in NZ
  8. Model Art decal instructions suggest BS860c:539 red or BS860c:538 post office red. Can anyone provide a definite colour please? It appears from one photograph that the nosewheel legs were painted a colour that looks the same as the red. Any ideas / confirmation? Thanks for any help. Richard in NZ

    IIRC the "a" in CLIIIa indicated that it had the Argus engine, rather than the Mercedes of earlier models. Others will no doubt know more. Richard in NZ
  10. I am half way through the Aeroclub/Hasegawa conversion, so now this comes along. You are welcome... Richard in NZ
  11. Thanks very much, Antti and Pat. Richard in NZ
  12. Thank you Seahawk, very helpful! Richard in NZ
  13. Could someone kindly confirm the serial of 3 Sqn's Javelin T3, and did it carry the green fin band? Many thanks. Richard in NZ
  14. I am (slowly) building an AEW1 using the Aeroclub conversion and Hasegawa kit. The Aeroclub parts are very well done with fine panel lines and fit perfectly with the donor Hasegawa bits, I am very impressed. Recommended if you can find one. Richard in NZ
  15. The photo of Skyraider AEW1 WT987 is brilliant; the yellow Suez stripes only applied, with the dark blue taking the place of black and underwing serials still visible on the blue sections. I have not seen that before, though I am sure other BMers will have. Richard in NZ
  16. Thank you very much gentlemen. I think my uncle was responsible for the 17.5.39 episode! I will see if I can post the photo. Richard in NZ
  17. I have a photograph of the rear fuselage of K5234, which my uncle crashed in 1938 or 1939. It has a squadron marking partly visible on the rear fuselage. I am without any relevant references, and would be very grateful for any help in identifying: 1. Aircraft type - Hart or Audax I think. He always said the Hart was his favourite aircraft. 2. Squadron? May be 113? 3. Squadron marking on fuselage? Many thanks in advance. Richard in NZ
  18. Thanks very much Dave, I will go with that. Richard in NZ
  19. I am a little short of reference material. What colour were the two gas bottles on the fuselage upper decking behind the pilot's headrest? TIA. Richard in NZ
  20. I built this kit in the same colours in or about 1968. Brilliant stuff, well done! Richard in NZ
  21. 1/72 Beaufort and Hart family. Is there an echo in here...? Richard in NZ
  22. The RNZN did not use the Devon. The boxtop illustration is of a "warbird" (which war please?) current civilian Devon formerly used by the RNZAF. Magua87's post shows just two of many attractive RNZAF schemes and variants. Richard in NZ
