G'day J.S The aircraft you are looking to model is a P-51K-10-NT Mustang IVa, serial A68-565. The aircraft was assigned to Squadron Leader J.A. Cox, 84 Sqn RAAF and was lost when it crashed on takeoff 02/08/45, at Bohle River QLD. Cheers Darren

QUOTE: Originally posted by tweety1 Credit card purchases can be a bit hazardous. I use one that is linked to a bank account, so when I order something, I transfer the money required first, then order my items. Otherwise, it sits there empty till I need something. It's credit, but different.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Snowy G'day fellas, I decided to subscribe to FSM half way through last year and have received every issue since, about 1 month ahead of my local newsagents. It works out about $68 AUD and thats good value ( about $7 per issue) ....As a matter of fact I've had the Sept. issue with the cutaway Spit on it for about 2 weeks now .......

QUOTE: Originally posted by j.s.harrison Fellow Aussie modellers..... Tweety1 and myself have been talking in the Aussie GB thread over the last couple of days about a unique Group Build idea we have for 2005.... The idea is to get a few of us aussie modellers together to build a Squadron lineup of 76SQDs CA27 Avon Sabres...... Once all the Sabres are finished we would take a series of photos of each,and using computer software Tweets will combine all the pics into one image creating a Sqd lineup. We could also leave the undercarriage until last and tack down the canopies to create an inflight shot....... Sooooo whaddya think guys............. This is the highplanes conversion for the Acadamy or Hasegawa F86 Sabre... The complete kit using the acadamy f86 cost $50:00au box art is the 76SQD CA27 Sabre........

QUOTE: Also remember that if your dollar is strengthening against the US$ as ours (NZ$) is then it gets even cheaper. My October issue turned up in the mail today - oh happy days
