G'day Njaco!

I'm having a wee think about some of those kits -
Is the Hs 126 the "old" Revell quality, or of the newer style, and what is the quality of the PZL 37B Los and Ar 95 kits like?

For the Aussies that Revell vengeance might be of interest, as it comes with RAAF decals.

 

[Njaco]

Give me a day or two and I'll check. I think the PZL is still shrink wrap and I'm thinking the Revell are newer, not sure.

Here is my post on Craig's List -

G'day Njaco!

Are those Arados to be sold together, or individually aswell? I'm interested in the Revell (ex Heller) Ar 196A-2

 

[Njaco]

I can do seperate. PM me and we can work on it.

 

[A4K]

Thanks mate!

Hi all. This is a top idea. I was thinking recently what to do next as I'm not interested in what I have now since I bought them a while ago. That and we just had twin girls. I think my rate of about one a year is about to multiply! All WW2 stuff. I have a newish 1/35 Tamiya SdKfz 251 Stuka zu fuss German half track with book opened but not harmed. The rest were found in an antique shop and look to be from about late 70's: Italeri 1/72 CG-4 Hadrian glider, Revell 1/72 Fw200 Condor, Italeri 1/35 set of 6 German Africa corps troops and accessories, Italeri 1/35 set of US and British machine guns, backpacks, bazooka, helmets etc, Esci 1/72 Opel3,6 German truck ambulance.

All the old ones are in good condition but sourcing newer decals would be suggested.

I keep all my collection of WW2 planes to set scales. 1 engine 1/32, 2 engines 1/48 and 4 engines 1/72. If anyone has anything fitting into this category I'm interested.

For further info or photos of box and contents PM me and I'll email them to you.

[A4K]

G'day guys! I need some help...

Does anyone have any spare Israeli 'Star of David' roundels?

I'm making the Airfix Spitfire IX (heavily modified - very basic kit) for one of my nephews as '130 T', one of the aircraft they built up from spare parts from RAF scrapheaps and a crashed Egyptian Spit. Very interesting paintscheme...

I need 4 roundels of 15-mm diameter, if poss, although 14-mm wouldn't look too amiss if no 15's available. Can trade for anything on my previously posted list.

Thanks! Evan

 

[Heinz]

No decals but does that spit have a texan tail by any chance?

 

[A4K]

No, it has a standard rounded rudder (which I had to reshape entirely on the model, along with the fin post and tailplanes, Airfix really had a bad day when they did this one...). Fixed tail wheel.

How's this for a scheme - Olive drab overall fueslage (crashed Egyptian machine); RAF desert camo (Ochre, Sand, and Azure Blue) on wings, wing fillets, tail planes and lower cowls; European camo (Sea grey and green) upper cowl; and either Blue or red spinner (no-one knows for sure which), with props in either standard yellow tipped form, or straight black...
No antenna mast, 'C' wing minus outboard cannon stubs and Browning MGs (gun ports filled), bulged upper cannon panels in straight alumimium, and no roundels on upper wings.

Sounds weird, but I've seen it done, and it looks good !

 

[Heinz]

Look foward to seeing it Evan!

I was just curious, I've got some shots of a Spitfire with a texan tail fitted and was flyable. As strange as that sounds/

 

[A4K]

Does sound a bit strange, but as in the case of this Spit, they were so desperate to build up aircraft strength, that they resorted to raiding the abandoned RAF scrapheaps for airframes, etc... all in all, three aircraft were added to the inventory in this way.

And now that you mention it, I think I might have seen a picture of that Spit once too, a long time ago. It rings a bell somehow.

 

[Wayne Little]

Evan, I will have a look for you I think I've may have some spare Israeli decals, it will depend on the size.....plain or with a border?

Ok found pics...no border...
