Scooby Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Great job Calum. Love it! Did you ever serve with George Foreman (Sgt) on Skyhawks in NZ? He came to Canada on exchange and I was one of his hosts. I would love to get in touch with him if you know him and have his contact info, great guy. We fed him a lot of beer. This exchange occurred in the mid-90s. He also served on helicopters, our Squadron he exchanged in the is a Tactical Helicopter Squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 On 3/29/2021 at 12:20 PM, 72modeler said: Calum, First off, let me say I love Scooters, no matter the nationality. Secondly, and I don't say this about too many builds, but if you had photographed your A-4K with a suitable background, it would easily pass for the real thing. That does not look like a plastic model! Beautiful workmanship and paint! Mike Thanks , I really need to learn to do the backdrop photo thing 2 hours ago, Scooby said: Great job Calum. Love it!

DrumBum Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Very nice. And you learn something every day, I didnt realise the Kiwis purchased new scooters in addition to the ex RAN rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was a long time ago Thanks to everyone else for the comments He’d often joke with us that it wasn’t his real name. That he was using an alias while in Canada. I think it may have been true. Only our administrative people probably knew the truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ2016 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Really nice job Calum, I remember we used to exercise with these jets (or similar) from NZ at sea with the RAN, they were able to fly close and fly fast !! Cheers JJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
