I'll Trade U 4 That.

Cheers Jim! I know of the AZ model kits, and am chasing # 7242, which comes with RNZAF markings.
Have also seen the Kora upgrades on E-bay, which seem to be the various engine and equipment changes for the versions depicted. AFAIK (haven't researched all the details yet), the Kiwi birds were stock RAF aircraft.

Btw, there was one AZ models Hind on E-bay a couple of months back, but I didn't understand the bidding process at the time, so lost it. Maybe next time!

As for those names, they have unfortunately slightly different meanings from the birds they were taken from! ("Oh look at that lovely Tit!" )

You are going to convert a 707 into a 727? What the what?

 

[A4K]

I wouldn't be the first Jim! Someone did one for the RNZAF Museum, did a beautiful job of it!
(There is now a 727 in 1:72, so hoping to get one if possible...)

Not at all man - I didn't check E-bay for a couple of days and would have missed this had you not spotted it! I really appreciate it mate!

Taking a short break from the hunt now as the upcoming 'Airwaves' airshow (with attending Lancs!) will take care of the Next 2 pay packets. Only exceptions would be if one of the ultra rare Valhalla Hawker Tomtit or Rug Rat Resins DH 84 Dragon kits I mentioned become available !!!

Many thanks again Jim!

 

[Capt. Vick]

Roger that. Enjoy!
