Any photo's possible? anyway nice buy! and good on ya for supporting NZ made

I will get around to it...

Some nice (interesting) stuff people are picking up!

That's a nice stash there degs. Is the Swift vac-form? I could do with one for my 56 Sqn build, but I don't fancy the hassle of a vac-form kit, and can't find an injection moulded one.

Great stuff here guys!

Still have 5 more on wish list and I got to drag these back from UK

G'day to Khobar, nice stash your building up there Degs all great aircraft, is the Swift a vacform and are you by chance thinking of doing the Lightning in RSAF livery. I spent 2 years at Dh with BAe in the mid 70s.

Arrived today - to kick off my series of 1/48 fighters

Looks an oldie but its actually real nice - crisp recessed detail - took some pics

Looks alot easier to build than tamiya kits from which I have bad memorys

Its gonna need a new canopy though - didn't come with USN or FAA decals but RNZAF ones were there

Also came with a stand , is this really an airfix moulding?

 

[109ROAMING]

Also , if anyone needs Heller Dora plans let me know - for some reason they came with the kit

This may be of track a little bit but this is what I WANT to purchase next.

It would be great for trying to attach those 1/72 Photo Etch knobs and levers in the future.

Nice one Daniel!

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers mate! since realised the airfix stand must of just been thrown in

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Great purchase Danny. I take it your sticking to the NZ livery.

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers mate! Yup will be an NZ machine

Will be a while til I do it though , the decals I've used with my prior RNZAF birds were Ventura and the colours are quite light , with these decals they're darker so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference along with a heavy faded finish

Highly recommended kit

 

[B-17engineer]

Daniel, great buy! Looks like an awesome kit

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers Harrison , whats the otaki P-51 like?

 

[Wayne Little]

That Otaki Corsair is a nice. yet simple kit Daniel. P51 is similar if I remember correctly....

 

[109ROAMING]

Cheers Wayne and Thanks for the info

Great idea Dirk...I use a Leica at work (for PCB component soldering).

If you can, get one with the black weighted base with microscope head mounted on adjustable horizontal and vertical poles - it will give you much more desk space to work in than the version in your photo.

Nice kit Daniel, and so is theeir P51. I built both back in about 1985. And yes, I reckon the old Airfix stand found its way into the box somehow! BTW, that's an earlier stand, from the '60's, they changed to a 'v' shape in the mid 1970's. I'm full of useless b*ll*cks you know!!

 

[109ROAMING]

No no ,old buy .Thats actually interesting - clears abit up! cheers mate!

I shall wait a long time to building it , good thing was it was cheap hence I ask about their P-51

 

[muller]

Haven't seen one of those airfix stands since i was kid! Looks like a nice corsair Dan 8)

Look what i got today....

Its HUGE!!
