Lost, I may have something that would work 

LA, would an article XV sqn count.

Lemme scrounge around, I know I have something. I just have to decide on what. 

Fair dinkums! Count me in! Start date is certainly enough time to decide what to build lol.

thanks for holding the build 

Thanks for the support guys!

I had to look up Article XV, yes Bish no problem as long as there is the Aussie connection.

count me in .

I'm in.  May even be able to build something other than a Mustang.

Then i am deffinetly in.

Would the a Sunderland fit?

You bet! Love to see a Sunderland.

There were a couple of RAAF squadrons flying them out of the UK.

I'd be interested in joining with a Monogram 1/48 OS2U Kingfisher in RAAF markings and colors (whatever that might be). 

Hmmmm, let me dig around in the stash. 

Tomcat, nice choice!

Keavdog, I'm sure you have something for us

Okay I'm in.  1/48 Hobbycraft Hawker Sea Fury FB MK II.  One of my favorite airframes.

EDIT:  Just realized this is Fleet Air Arm I think.  Is that included?

Ah John, you are right, it is RAN (Royal Australian Navy), and not on the list!

Anything else in the stash?

The RAAF Centenary Group Build starts 31st March!

In the meantime, the Australian mint has released a commemorative coin:

(The coin is for the centenary, not the Group Build)

Thats a nice coin. The Royal Mint did somthing similar, 5 £2 coins, to mark the centenary of the RAF a couple of years back.

(The coin is for the centenary, not the Group Build)

It would make a nice badge

There's a watch available too...

Morning :)  Can I join this?  Would like to make a Singapore Buffalo if all things work out (Special Hobby 32nd.)

Piers,

Actually I came across and old 1/48 Hasegawa F/A 18A. I've had this thing since it came out in 91. what's that? 30 years now? I had started it, Just the cockpit and the two fuse half's and stoped before I sanded the seams. Looking at it I did't do too bad back then. Way before resin AM, but will disassemble it to add a resin cockpit and wheel wells as well as some PE. The decals are bad but I found an RAAF 2002 special theme set from Hawkeye models.

Patrick, love the sound of the Buffalo - such a tubby aircraft that was never going anywhere but down against a Zero.

Steve, the FA 18 A is a great pick - I have a Roodecal set I bought decades ago - one of these days I will buy the model!

Thanks Piers,

Like I said, it was started but I'm going to have to completly disassenble it and start over. I'll take a pic of it when I get home. The Aries set I'm going to get is as expensive a the kit is.

I would still like to have done the Sunderland but I need to thin the stash before I add more, Besides, it seem to be on eternal backorder like most kits are these days.

Steve, what Sunderland kit are you thinking of. If its the Special Hobby 72nd Mk III, Hannants has 5 in stock.

Just sayin

Thanks Bish, I'll take a look. I was refering to the Italeri with RAAF markings. I'll look at the Special Hobby and also look for Ausi markings for it.

Actually it looks like Sp Hobby makes 2, count them two RAAF squardons, Number 10 Sq and Number 461 Sq 

Well Hanants is out of stock now so I'll go through HLJ, which is out as well but it says they can get it in 3 to 5 days  That waht is said about the Kongo before it went on backorder.

Ooops, my bad, I was looking at the Mk.V. I'll still go through HLJ since I alresdy have something in my pers wharehouse and I can combine the shipping.

Its the Mk III that has Aussie marking, Hannants has that in stock ig HLJ doesn't. Hannants also has the Italeri kit.

Thanks mate, I'll get one, probably the Special Model. I forget about Hanants.

Both sets of my decals are here. Still not sure which ones I'm going to use. Guess I have until March 1st to decide on one...
