Redboost Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hello, my latest effort built as entry to Aussie 39-45 group build on our local forum. It´s old MPM kit from the 90´s with many scratchbuilt and reworked items. If you are interested, you can see the building progress on this LINK I guess the size and color of the fuselage letter and the serial may not be 100% correct, but I left it as it was. Oh, forgot to mention it´s 4.sq. RAAF plane of J.Archer/J.Coulston who shot down a Zero fighter - an unique and sole kill of Wirraway during WWII.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Great job! Looks fine to me You might be interested to know that 4 SQN recently reformed with PC-9 aircraft with a Forward Air Control (FAC) training and army cooperation role. I forgot to mention I see this aircraft each time I visit a the Australain War Memorial here in Canberra Edited September 21, 2009 by TrojanThunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Thanks for your comments gents! Trojan Thunder: thanks for update! Would be nice to have the PC-9 kit in recent 4.sq marking sitting in the display case next to the Wirraway. Julien: The colors are mixed from Gunze H paints and the mixing ratios are taken (approx.) from 1/48 Wirraway MPM's instructions.
