Hello thorfinn Yes I have all the photo’s listed at ADF. Im trying to find if anyone knows whether the Roundels or any other markings were carried on the wings(upper/lower) or anywhere else. There are just two photo’s in Yellow and one is very grainy. Ive looked at the Novawing stuff but try to rely on real photo’s when possible. It will get built in the yellow markings but I would rather not find out after wards that I’ve missed anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Army have had enough of these as just the other day we announced that they will be getting replaced by a fleet of 30 or so Apache’s. Cheers.. Dave I knew there were problems with the Tigers and they were being reviewed but I missed this announcement. Pity, the Tiger is an attractive helicopter and I don’t think even the Auscam scheme can save the looks of the random assortment of parts that the Apache is. I saw them flying and on the ground at Cosford in 2018, they are really quite hideous and surprisingly big. AW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 No @thorfinn I hadn't seen that snippet before, but it did have a closeup of the port side of the Cessna which is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Oh dear, New Years resolution to only enter one build or in the case of split ones like this one per theme has failed, won an esci phantom last night which comes with RAAF decals, can’t really say no to that 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Can I ask everyone a favour please, I'm trying to encourage a new person to not only join BM but also this GB. As he originally from Australia I was going to post him the Frog Havoc / Boston which thoughtfully has RAAF markings. The question is what paint colours (humbrol or revell) do I also need to put in the box with it, as the Frog painting guide gives no clues ? Cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hello everyone.. Ive thought about this and as the build still has a week to go before we start. You can of course start early and I think you should if you feel the need to. My theory for 25% is if you take the total number of parts in a build and divide it into quarters you will be ok. With armor you could easily get a large number just in the tracks and running gear. And with aircraft we could figure it out with simple math.

bianfuxia Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Can anyone steer me in the right direction for a simple side drawing of the E-7 Wedgetail so I can scratch build the radar set up on mine? Ideally it'd be in 1/200 but any accurate drawing is ok - I can measure it out easily enough. I've googled around a bit with not much luck.

exdraken Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hmmm not a lot really in the stash for this! Another Mirage? Or a MB-326 ... or 339... hmmm decals for the MB-339 are an issue though. EDIT: after some research I endend up with ordering decals for the MB-339 from oldmodels decals in NZ https://www.oldmodelsdecals.com/RNZAF-85--not-current.html no idea if they have a chance to turn up before this GB ends though...... lets see! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my pre-order it was estimated to be available today, so hopefully that means that the stock they had has been cleared, and I'm one of the clearees.

LDSModeller Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi All, Well here in the Antipodes, it's 0900 Hours January 23 (Auckland, New Zealand Time daylight saving time) and (at least) Eastern Australia/South Australia it's 0700 and 0630 hours respectively Which means what exactly you might ask? We get to kick off with the Group Build For those who have never ventured into both our Fair Lands Scenic view of New Zealand (please ignore Touristy audio) New Zealand Scenic view of Australia Australia Having lived a good part of my life in both countries, I have a great love for both.

But alas due to this Covid thing those plans were scuppered. I soooo long to return again .... maybe one day.... and a longer visit to Oz as I was only there for four days! So, look out for my entrants for this GB . Its a no brainer for me . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuppa_joe Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The last piece of the puzzle is here, the fujimi kit came first, with the jays models kit coming this week past. Hope it's the right base kit to do the conversion for my Avon sabre. Undecided on paint scheme. May go Thailand or malaysia, but really want to have the 'roo roundel on show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
