jackroadkill Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 If only Airfix would hurry themselves along a bit and get their 1/72 Beafort done; I'd love to do one of those in a RNZAF scheme. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about it, though Im angling for either a Malta or SAAF with mine. Even ordered the correct decals for both options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Malta scheme would be great - in fact, a whole slew of different aircraft in their Malta schemes would be something I'd like to work towards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abat Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 This will be my contribution. A Royal Australian Navy Bristol Sycamore HR Mk 50, from S&M Models in my favourite 1/72 scale. It’s the top picture on the box. Andrew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thats a very good looking option @abat, you’ll forgive me as Im not the mist knowledgable on Helicopters. Is that the Oxford blue scheme I’ve seen on later Wessex and other types ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scargsy Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 OK sign me up - I'm going for a NZ M41 Walker Bulldog (which one of the 10?), will be attempting to print my own decals and modify the old Tamiya kit as best I can - it's actually not a bad kit, remember it from my childhood going together well, cheap even back then! I was tempted to buy a Trumpeter ASLAV but my New Year's resolution seems to be stash reduction rather than kit collection (not going great I've already bought a Ford Mustang for the GB later this year!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebra Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Looks like there are going to be some interesting builds. I'm all set to start with a Hobbycraft 1/72 DHC-3 Otter in Qantas colours, using Hawkeye decals, and a Matchbox Norseman in Ansett-MAL colours - finished drawing the decals, just need to get them printed now. If I get time (fairly doubtful given all the other overlapping GBs, but you never know) there's a scheme for a nice looking NZ-registered aircraft in the Dora Wings Proctor kit I was given for Xmas, or maybe an A-4K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beazer Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 So did the P-39 airacobras use American or British seats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking additional Aircraft to shore up defenses against the advancing Japanese, Australia approached the US for assistance. The US provided some 22 odd P39's (P39D/F's) for Australian use circa mid 1942. These were handed back to the US, end of 1943. I would say US seats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 This arrived today. The decals I had in my stock a few months in readiness. So this will be one of my builds hopefully starting once my new shed is up and running after next Monday!! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I've just realised that this kit has a NZ option. And this Hawk an Australian option. Yes, count upon me joining in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a little treasure you have, the Hawk is a nice bonus as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, count upon me joining in. The Italeri RAAF markings for the Hawk are fictitious, based on the BAe prototype, as I recall the roundels and tail number are black on the decal sheet which does not match even their colour scheme in the picture on the box.
