Wow, GREAT haul Sergio!
One thing -if you make that Dauntless a kiwi, DO NOT apply those bloody yellow rings to the wing roundels!!!!
Bloody frustrating how almost everyone makes that mistake, but in fact the kiwi 'Pacific roundels' were a modified version of standard RAF markings applied over the US stars and bars.
Just as only the fueslage roundels of RAF aircraft received the yellow ring (with the exception of some pre- and late war aircraft), same with RNZAF aircraft (with NO exceptions in our case)
No idea who first made this mistake, but I could bloody strangle them, misleading almost every profile artist and model company ever since as they have!!!
Only Ventura produce accurate RNZAF Pacific roundels to my knowledge (Aeromaster markings are correct in style, but too dark).
(Sorry for the rant!)

Nice haul! That should keep you busy for a while.
is the advantage of living in a country that is sinking i many offers from people in a hurry to live beyond their means, jajajajaja, jokes aside,
I'm looking to buy another house and I can not buy models for a while and I will not go without models I'd like to ride, gathering material now for the day tomorrow to have it, another is to sell to collectors of vintage are highly prized for collectors of boxes and there internet people who know the value that can be achieved according to models .
Evan starts when you ask for help here and I have no possibility to find many things about the kiwi will help.

Picked up today at the P/O.....
Unfortunately, the decals seem to be slightly damaged, but that doesn't matter, as I won't be using them, this is another later war '13' to be! 8)
