Newsletter September 2024

[Ed Russell]

This is mainly of interest to local modellers but a number of these products are unique. The Arma Airacobra is the kit plus detailed instructions for those used by the RAAF and has a comprehensive decal sheet. The Gannet sheet, Auster J5 and the 3D rockets are unique to us. If anything is out of stock enquire as many things are done as multiple short production runs.

 

1. This highly detailed version of the Arma 1/48 scale P-39Q Airacobra kit can be built as any of the Airacobras operated by the RAAF during WWII and includes painting masks. A highly detailed full colour instruction booklet precisely indicates the changes the modeller must make to the kit for this purpose. Years of extensive research has resulted in a technical description of the aircraft and its camouflage and markings that is second to none. A comprehensive digital decal sheet provides markings for every RAAF Airacobra for which there is photographic evidence available. This special value-added kit is only available directly from Red Roo Models.  You can find more information here.
