Really nice job Neo

I know I'm a long way away in Oz but if someone is able to help me out I'd be very appreciative. Please PM me if you can help. I don't mind if it's started, new or scrapped.

Hi Guys, Just finished. This is the Roden 1/48 Peacemaker converted to a Pilatus Pc-6A Turbo Porter with a Ryan Hamilton conversion and painted in the markings of the Australian Army's 161 Independent Recce Flt based at Nui Dat, Vietnam (Circa 1971-72). I hope you like it. I faded the top of the aircraft to simulate the paint after sitting in the tropical heat.

Schweeeeet!

Thanks fellas, Having built five of them now I think that'll be the end of the swords for a while. Too many other projects I want to do.

Nice Thud. I'd be happy with that.

Excellent!

Very nice John.

Sweeeeet! Love the sheen in the Raptor's paint.

Oh yeah! You've captured that nicely. The weathering is just spot on.

Cheers Gary and Ken. Glad you like it.

Cheers mate!

Thanks guys, The decals came with the kit which is extremely difficult to get hold of now. Occasionally they appear on Ebay but I believe High Planes intend to re-release these kits but in a complete injected molded kit form after they do their 1/48 Mirage IIIO/E series. Hopefully they re-do this scheme as images are as rare as rocking horse poo. I only managed to find 3-4 images of this particular scheme on the net.

Cheers Albert. This was definately one of the hardest kits I've ever built with flat spots, I'll fitting wings etc and then the paint.

Cheers Holmes.
