Great then, you can put me down for a 1/35 Grant in Australian colors, North Africa 1942. Pretty sure it's gonna have to be a Tamiya kit. Anyone gonna create a badge?

I might get in with this one, I have an Airfix Beaufighter TF.X 1/72. Can't be sure I'll get started on it for awhile though.

On the bench:

1/35 Tamiya M26 Pershing-0%

1/144 Minicraft P-38J Lightning-50%

Numerous 1/35 scale figures in various stages if completion.

If you like RAAF Mirages, have a look at this page. It's a Memorial Page for Paul 'Changa' Mason who co-wrote the RAAF Mirage book with Darren Mottram.

OK here we go......

Any model, any scale, as long as it was used by either arm of the ADF (Or equivelant, so AFC aircraft are ok) and must be in australian markings. Aftermarket detail sets are ok (support those garage kit companies!), More than one model is encouraged and we should allow a certain amount of "what if" for aircraft that are deffinately coming into service (i.e. Superhornet and JSF) Start date is Sepctember O7 and finish ANZAC day next year (25/Apr/O8)

Let me know what your building so i can add it to the list here on the front page and anyone who can make logos go right ahead and see what we come up with.

Happy modelling!
