Mainly of interest to locals

 

1. We have just received limited stock of the Special Hobby 2024 Upgrade 1/72 scale Westland Whirlwind. We have done some value adding and bundled our new 1/72 scale Australian Pilots in Westland Whirlwind decal sheet with the kit to increase the number of markings choices for the modeller. You can find more information here.

Three pilots are featured on this digital print limited run decal sheet. The sheet is beautifully printed with rich, vibrant colours.  All the information is here.

3.   We recently released two new 1/48 scale digital printed decal sheets. The first being for the new Airfix 1/48 scale Gannet kit which will be back in stock in a couple of weeks - this sheet provides markings for three RAN Gannets and information can be found using this link. The second decal sheet covers the late war 67 Squadron Ansons. The six aircraft covered are all finished in Foliage Green. The decal sheet is designed for the recently released 1/48 scale Airfix kit and all the data can be found here.

4.    We have just released our small supplementary North American OV-10A Bronco decal sheet which features Bronco 67-14639, the USAF aircraft preserved in the Australian War Memorial. Modellers may not be aware that during the Vietnam war a number of RAAF pilots served with USAF 19th Tactical Air Support Squadron. This decal sheet features the red kangaroo zap mark applied to the nose of the aircraft, the Armament panel, the USAF serial number and propeller logos applied to this aircraft. The decal sheet is designed for the Academy 1/72 scale kit but can easily be used with any other Bronco kit in this scale. Find the good oil here.

We are getting close to the end of several of our 1/48 scale conversions and once these are sold out they won't return, so make sure you check out the 1/48 scale Conversions page before it is too late.
