Why don't you lads build a "what if" RNZAF thingy then? Would be a cool thing to see what kinda crates that you'd like to see in your countrys colours!
F-16, F-18, JAS....a JAS would look cool in that three colour camouflage!8)
I don't know how many, but the contract was signed, I think, before the Government pulled the plug on the deal...and scrapped the whole Strike wing.
(No comment...)
Is that not a cool looking jet or what? I can see a small airforce of Gripens for me down the track (Its getting out of hand again!) I agree Jan I think a Gripen will look Ace in RNZAF camo ,but like Evan I dono if I could blow a whole kit a 'what if' -sigh to much of a realist
Thanks for the pics mate! Those 1/48 kits look super tasty! Espicially that top one! 8)
Take a while to make! (You may have to give me a while )
Rough sketch of ''to build list'
Every aircraft operated by the RNZAF ,Hell of alot of German WWI and WWII aircraft as well as interwar aircraft (Lufthansa Fw-200 Condors etc 8) ) Same with British and american stuff -also a large amount of RAAF aircraft and a nice mixture of Japanese stuff .I seem to lose interest in aviation a wee bit after WWII but still alot of things that take my fancy to be modelled!
That Gripen is a nice looking bird...given me an idea for a 'what if' too.
As for lists, I've lost count of the many I've compiled over the years. Oh to win the lottery, and have a hangar-sized shed in which to store all the potential builds! I'd need another lifetime in which to build them all though!
Nah, Viggen in ADV grey maybe, and Gripen in a 'yet to be announced' 2 or 3 colour finish, in greys or grey/blues. Draaken on the fire dump maybe...........
