1/72nd SMER Piper Cub,....


Recommended Posts

Hiya Folks,..... I know somebody else has already started one of these,...... so sorry for adding another! I bought this kit especially to go with the DK Decals sheet for the Piper Cub which includes a few very interesting RAAF aircraft from 4 Sqn in New Guinea. Here are some pics of the real aircraft;

The below aircraft was named the `Bullshit Bomber',.... which appeals to my sense of humour! Note the painted out USAAF markings;

So now to do some colour scheme research,..... were they USAAF Olive Drab and Neutral Grey or just Olive Drab,.... and were they repainted in RAAF Foliage Green?

 

Anyway,... here is the kit;

Cheers for now,

Hi @tonyot

Have you lost this one amongst all your other current builds ?

Cheers Pat 

Don`t think I`ll be getting thsi one done in time Pat,..... the second Catalina and the Kiwi Dakota put paid to that! It will get done soon though.

Just a suggestion Tony, why not swap it across to the current Unarmed GB ?
