LDSModeller Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 4 hours ago, theplasticsurgeon said: I've just realised that this kit has a NZ option. Nice Choice, I remember the Strikemaster fondly, especially as a young cadet getting up close and personal with them at Wigram. I couldn't find (yet) a colour photo, but the rear Strikemaster in the photo below is NZ6365 as shown on your model box top (RNZAF Official - RNZAF Museum - Used with Permissions) Look forward to your build Regards Alan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplasticsurgeon Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 7 hours ago, Romeo Alpha Yankee said: 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. Confirming that observation - now that I've actually looked in the box. Which makes an appearance by the Strikemaster more likely. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpthedog Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hoping to join this GB with the Dora Wings 1/48 Percival Proctor in the ZK- civil decals, as one of the kit options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, just a general caution, the kangaroo on Italeri Australian roundels can sometimes appear decidedly malnourished and need to be replaced with aftermarket ones. And a reminder that the kangaroo (and I presume kiwi on NZ kits) always faces forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome aboard Jp. Always room for more and Gen.Av. airplanes are a plus as they aren't as common. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidrian Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I have the Wellsprop 3D resin kit to make one of these. NZPAF had two initially and then a third former FAA machine to replace one that crashed during a low level speed test. The photo is from the RNZAF Museum archives and shows the third, replacement, machine 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Flying the flag for the "floaties", I will take part and my build will be the Heller 1/400 Colossus/Arromanches aircraft carrier converted to represent HMAS Sydney. Although I do have some reference material and books, I am quite unprepared research-wise so there is the possiblility that I might not finish it in time. We will just have to see how I get along!

On 02/01/2021 at 17:13, Corsairfoxfouruncle said: Tell me about it, though Im angling for either a Malta or SAAF with mine. Even ordered the correct decals for both options. I've just pre-ordered the Airfix Beaufort; according to their pre-order basket thingy page it's due for release on the 21st of this month.

stevehnz Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 A nice idea to dedicate this to Andy, Dennis. I need to get my thinking cap on & work out what to build, too many options leading to confusion just now. Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the easiest way, that or ask SWMBO, thats usually what I do when I get stuck on a build or scheme.
