DonSS3 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Now that's pretty. I really like the "fresh from the factory" look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ReccePhreak Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looks great, love your clean paint job. Whose kit is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Just realized that I had never considered, or apparently even noticed, which way the kangaroo in wing insignia pointed. It does make sense to be looking in the direction of travel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie-Pete Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks guys. I'm not much for weathering. I like the new look. When I'm used to it I might add weathering. This is a Trumpeter model. 1/48. Decals are after market Novascale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I have the same kit. I plan to do a Royal Navy FB.11 from 807 Sqn off of HMS Ocean in Korea. I picked it because it was an operational recce conversion, so it fits in my "Build Themes" Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie-Pete Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 I used to just build what was in the box but have decided to build aircraft that have served in the Australian defence force. A pretty random collection atm P3C Orion (I worked on those), Spitrefire, EA18 and a Seafury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I am kind of envious of the P-8 crews, though. Looks like with the advances in technology that it would b a fun airplane to fly in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just cant see them doing 50ft over the waves can you? Also lose and engine and they're looking for a landing ASAP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
