                        MikeJ - I think your right ... perhaps a "Members" post somewhere that is update ... including something like: name, location, and modelling "affliction" Wink [;)]

                        Mike J

                        I think you might be right about a new census, I lost count after about the third or fourth page, wasn't prepared for popularity of this thread, thought it would die after about 5 pages or month, never expected to reach the number of pages its at now or still be going over a year later.

                        Maybe we do something like the group build and place a list containing the info suggested by Mike B on page 1 and keep it updated.
                        Wayne I enjoy getting older, especially when I consider the alternative.

                        Sounds good

                        Best way would be to make an announcement and get people to check in, you can then add the respondees to the list

                        Like Cossack said Name Location and Poison...

                        Ok, here we go....

                        I stumbled upon this site which is a handy reference. You'll find sections listing aircraft pix plus drawings & decals available from various makers for the various southern hemisphere air forces (generally recent stuff - jets - only).

                        I got some 'RAAF Faded Sky Blue Letters' from Red Roo. They're basically off-white letters & numbers in quite a variety of sizes & a couple of styles (stencil + typical san-serif for call sign lettering). You could easily spray them another colour as they're quite light.

                        Google search seems to show 3 common turret setups, no top turret (esp. RAAF & RNZAF), a central top turret (yanks?) & then the offset top turret.

                        Hi All,

                        Long time lurker now I'm out of the closet so to speak.

                        Names Shane currently living in Adelaide. My main interest is 1:35 Military ground based vehicles and I'm in my modern period at the moment but anything will do. I have dabbled in sci-fi and built some planes but the planes were about 30 years ago oh and one motor bike (that was 20 years ago). I did a truck once. Built it that is Blush [:I].

                        Cheers
