Also, there is Peter Boer's book "Aircraft of the Netherlands East Indies Army Air Corps in crisis and war times" which is quite expensive if you just want info on one specific type.

It has sooo much more info than just the Hurri's :)  every a/c type in use during the war is documented with operational history (as far as is available - and it's a lot).
So the Martin 139WH bombers, Curtiss H-75, Brewster Buffalo, Curtiss Falcon CW-21/22 and transports like L-12, DC-2/3. IMO worth the money.

Its absolutely worth every penny! Its a superb reference, and I for one have high hopes of ML-KNIL Hawk 75, Buffalo and Martin 139 as well as the Hurricane, of course. If I could find a Curtiss Falcon that, too, would be on the list!

 

Cheers,

Kora does several in 1/72  :P  or is that too tempting? :D

Do they? I didn't know that.....yes, very tempting!!! Google search!!!

 

I've also got their ML-KNIL Hurricane and Hawk decal sets, and I also managed to pick up a Dutch Decals set as well!

And he's off again.

Glad I didn't have to wait too long.

Looking forward to this one.

Keep up the good work and try to stay away from online purchases.;)

Hopefully I'll get this one finished! As for online purchases, well.....I keep checking back with Arma's website!

 

Cheers,

Mark

You are aware that they are only taking orders of £135 and above from the UK at the moment.

Still? Well that's a blow :( Looks like I won't be ordering direct, then!

Yup, it's to do with the Vat Regulations.

I'll just need to wait until Duncan gets the Mustang and the 1/48 Hurricane in at Black Mikes.
