Would you PLEASE lay off solicitors!! They do all the hard work and get about 10% of the Estate Agents who do bugger all. If a solicitor has charged $300 for a letter go to the Law Society and put in a fizzer! Or change solicitor.

Sorry Dai i don't mean to be overly critical of solicitors just venting some frustration,it seems to me that when you sell a house and start building a new one theres a big long list of people standing there with there hands out.

Lobbie thanx
I have to admitt that i know nohing about this vechicle as it operated in vietnam. I saw the kit cheap and then at mdel expo saw the firestorm conversion set. so my knowledge of the subject is nonextictant. It good that you can interprute want i'm trying to say. If you could do something for the callsigns for this kit for me that would be great. I really appreciate the help
Thanx

There is a monograph book (or even two) about "Boomerang" and "Wirraway" - the only problem is that the language is exotic (it means: Polish) for you - with only some English translations. If you want it anyway, I will try to find them for you. Please contact me on my e-mail (goria@lodz.msk.pl). BTW - I'm also a big fond of "Boomerang" !
Regards ! "Aussi-leksander"

Tried emailing you Aleksander, but for some reason it was playing up and wouldn't let me. If you have any books out there which are mainly photographs, the more detailed the better, then I might well be interested. If any are in English that would be a nice bonus!!!!!!
In the queue: 1/48 Beech Staggerwing (RAAF), P38 (RAAF), Vultee Vengeance (RAAF), Spitfire Vb (Malta), Spitfire VIII x2 (RAAF), P39 x2 (RAAF), Martin Baltimore (Malta?), Martin Maryland (Malta), Typhoon NF1b, Hellcat x2 (FAA)

Trev,
Which model expo, did you get the firestorm conversion from ?
Do you intend to do a Vietnam era with this model subject ? or a post 1975 version.

Morning all,
Just thought I'd do a quick post to keep us up on the front page. More work on the MkII Merkava today. Currently working on the turret. Have fun whatever you do!

Trev,
The Firestorm link you showed me to have a look at of the M 113 APC, has several bits missing, to make a Vietnam era Aussie APC, with the T 50 turret.
let me put a few things together as I have several bits, for these vehicles.
Rob.
note: I'll edit this later today.

AFV Club have the M 113 FSV and later this year they are releasing the Aussie Mk V Centurion. Heller make a Leopard A4, that will do an Aussie version. The M 1 Abrams which is the latest acusision, by Australia as a Leopard replacement there are several kits of that on the market.

Too many pussers here at the moment :) so i thought I might add a few army diorama ideas. The Blackhawk/Kiowa is from when I was in Timor and the ARVM is from an ex in NQLD.

Feeling a bit out-numbered Dave!
Would we be talking Shoalwater Bay for the ARVM pic?

No it isn't Shoalwater Bay fortunately, its High Range Training Area just north of Townsville. And yes it is getting a bit scary with all this Navy talk.

For those that are unaware of it, there is an Australian Model site other than Hyperscale.
http://www.aussiemodeller.com/
It has a good discussion board and will be seriously revamped in the next few weeks.

Guys,
a side view of what was once the Tamiya LRDG Chev
a head on shot
what underneath
I know this is not a very good photo of the Canberra, it is based on 'Mapie 21' which was built by one of my co founders as part of the for the, contract with the RAAF OTS, this is the Aeroclub kit in 48 scale and is based on first hand knowledge from a 2 Sqn groundie at the time, this aircraft was in operation in Vietnam.
Rob.
Note: I did not build either of these model. The Chev belongs to a friend.

Hi Rob,
I'm using the Eduard P39D kit with all the extra goodies included. I haven't actually decided yet which one to build. I have the Red Roo decal sheet and book on the RAAF P39's, and also both volumes of "RAAF Camoflage and Markings 1939-45" so I'll make that decision when it comes to that one's turn in the build queue!
In the queue: 1/48 Beech Staggerwing (RAAF), P38 (RAAF), Vultee Vengeance (RAAF), Spitfire Vb (Malta), Spitfire VIII x2 (RAAF), P39 x2 (RAAF), Martin Baltimore (Malta?), Martin Maryland (Malta), Typhoon NF1b, Hellcat x2 (FAA)
