[Wayne Little]

Back on deck! been rather busy this past week AND using every spare moment trying to finish my 1/32 Fw190A-5 for our local comps this coming weekend... will just make it to the starting line... I hope!

Emac, sorry just a bit far to go to buy a model! but Hi anyway.

Hey John I am doing a Pearl Harbor project so it is a distinct possibility that some of my upcoming Japanese aircraft participated in attacks on Darwin?

Here is a distinct possibility, the plane that is, as the pilot that flew the aircraft at Pearl Harbor, Lt Kiyokuma Okajima, transfered from Hiryu to Zuikaku in late Jan 42.

All the best Wayne.

Just a quick added note, don't know why but the 'grey' fabric surfaces have come up much darker in the photo than they are on the model giving the wrong impression to their correct shade?

 

[lesofprimus]

Looks very professional and detailed... Nice work...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yeah let us know how the compititions go, get lots of pics of others' work.........

[pbfoot]

with your drought down there at the bottom of the earth is there any water restrictions or such

 

[abramsteve]

oh yea! Some states, such as Queensland have been on water restricitions for years now. We here in SA are on our tightest in years. Its been worse though so its not that much of a hassle, but sure hope it dont get much worse...
