Raymond Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) hiya got some questions about Rhodesian hunters im trying to solve: - I was considering modeling R1258 or 11 which features the green/lion in the earlier fuselage position, before it was moved to the nose. was this roundel also found on the upper/lower wings as with the previous version? (from the photo it looks absent, but ive found before with iraqi insigna, if the wings even slightly reflective the roundel can be obscured!) it is hard to tell from photos whether these aircraft are wearing the Grey/green scheme or the brown green scheme by 1970. - additionally i was wondering what year hunters started carrying the golf bomb?

ross blackford Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 , g'day Ray. Can you tell me please what the small general transport is that the Hunter appears to be escorting? It looks like the original configuration of the GAF Nomad as first put on paper. I read somewhere in the 1970s that the retractable undercarriage and twin engines were added later at the request of the Australian Army for safety and economy reasons and to increase the cruising speed slightly. :), Ross.

SinisterVampire319 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hey Ross, That small general transport it is not. It is a Aermacchi AL.60 Trojan single engine observation aircraft. Raymond, The Rhodie hunters from my research did not have any roundals on the wings. I don't have my material with me right now. I have some more reference on them you might find useful. I will try to dig them up and send them to you when I can get to my stuff. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
