  1. Hey JesTer, what colours did you use for the main camouflage?
  2. I will be listing a bunch of stuff from the man cave stash over the next few weeks, kits, magazines, books and decals. Happy to ship anywhere, I'm not picky. Will ship surface mail as well to keep costs down, works a treat for me when I get stuff from Canada or UK. Have a look http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/dakotakatz/m.html?item=191081270385&_uhb=1&pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Model_Kits&hash=item2c7d54cc71&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
  3. Hey Rat, I don't think your alibi will hold water, most of these kits came from Canada when I lived in TO in the 80's. In fact I'm known as that canadian guy around these parts
  4. Thanks Ray, It's great to have the support of the club, we'll see if my out put improves now :thumbsup:/> Rob
  5. Hey Kurt This was a long time coming and I had lots of troubles with it. Parts from 5 kits are included, I also looked at different lay outs before I settled on the final configuration. Rob
  6. Hi John I'm looking at getting the AJ2 Savage kit by Mach2 and would like to know your thoughts on this kit? I have heard some bad things but your build looks ok to me. I plan on building it as N9142Z tanker 88, form the mid 60's. I can pick this kit up for around $70, is it worth it? By the way I'm in the Southern Highlands south of Sydney Rob
  7. I am doing two at the moment, a P 47 T9+FK and a P 51 T9+HK. The P 47 has a top color of dark green which I suspect to be RLM71 and not RLM74 as quoted on the decal sheet instruction(do a search in ARC for CED72114 and you can look at the sheet) The P51 is natural aluminum over RLM04 with the remains of its 8th AF colors, similar to yours. If you look at the cover sheet for the decals you will see that the USAAF O/D is different to the color painting out the US markings on YF*U. So I guess I will paint it the RLM71 and ware the criticism if I'm wrong. Oh Well Thanks for the post Rob
  8. I am building a series of aircraft captured by the Germans and painted in Luftwaffe colours. I am using the Leading Edge decal sheet "Zirkus Rosarius" and they say to use RLM74 over RLM04. Now my problem is that RLM74 is grey and all the research I've done shows the top colour to be more like RIM green. The decal sheet calls for the grey to be used but even their colour plates are a green colour. Now I have found a formula that mixes 90% RLM74 with 10% RLM71 but this is still more grey then greener looking colour plates. Has anyone built this colour scheme? And what info did you find to su
