Hmmmmmmmm, might have to get the November issue Wink [;)]

To be honest mg, I can't remember.
When I was 18 and started my electronics apprenticeship I stumbled across these things, might have been from one of my bosses girlfriends, he always dated the weird ones!

I darn well hope so, because I've already got my build picked out. I am going to do Classic Airframes Gloster Meteor F.8 in the markings of George Hale's Korean War MiG killer from 77 Squadron RAAF "Halestorm".

The decals are the only real thing that is stopping me from finishing my RAN A-4 Skyhawk. So many of them and I am not sure I can face them all. Yuck [yuck]

Thanks for the congrats fellas, another 500 to get the next one..............

AAHHHHHH decaling Grumpy [|(]

it's the only part of A/C modelling i hate, i may have to build some more German armour next year, the flak panzer only has 4 little decals but on the flip side it has about a million wheels to paint..................
Hmm the Missus thing, i said to the Angel [angel]

WIFE

last night have a look at the Spit it's almost done and she said only if you make me a coffee, so i did and then she said i don't like it it's too shiny, so i drank her coffee............. Whistling [:-^]

Tweety i'll post up a couple of pics of the sabre pit as soon as i get it... Thumbs Up [tup]

....Jules......

Well i was gonna do the rounds in the forums but my kids are doing the opposite of house work so i had better go Sigh [sigh]

Jules, congrats on your 500th post Party [party]

Well apart from almost suffering from a nervous breakdown while I was trying to decal my Aussie GB Spitfire, last night was a good night.

My usual question when I get home of "Any mail today Hon?" was greeted with "No nothing important. Wait on, oh yeah your magazine thing arrived"

NOTHING IMPORTANT [:0][:0] she says, the November issue of FSM arrived, there is nothing more important Big Smile [:D]

Roosta, I doubt there will be one in Australia, O/S would be your best bet.

I really should check out this thread more often, anyway I'm here to ask you if anyone knows where in australia I can pick up a cockpit set for the Academy 1:48 SU27UB Flanker, don't know if any of you guys have built this one before but if you have you'll know that the pit is pretty inaccurate and very sparse on details.

Sorry ROOSTA can't help you with that one buddy Sad [:(]

but my True Details Sabre c/pit was sent today Yeah!! [yeah]

Knowing us Aussies, probably someones busted up ute!!! Clown [:o)]

Maybe it's just me, but I reckon the kangaroo emblem has to be in the top 10 of the worlds most recognised things.
Y'know, like Coke etc.

Can't argue with that logic Harvs,I bought the Smer Airco DH2 and it had the wing roundels molded on for some reason, but then what can you expect from a $5 kit.......
Hey AFC markings for the SE5A This one was flown by R Dallas 2nd highest scoring Aussie in WW1............ Wink [;)]

Hope it helps................Jules.....................
Oh yeah try this site www.australianflyingcorps.com

I made a step into unchartered territory today, I ordered three Biplanes from NKR. A SMER Tiger Moth, Roden SE5A and F2B fighter. I have the Red Roo Tiger Moth decals (excellent by the way) now I just have to find some appropriate AFC markings for the other two. Another interesting challenge will be doing the rigging on them all, especially the F2B. Banged Head [banghead]
