Cheers!! The yellow winged aircraft really do look good

Cheers mate. Perhaps a what-if with yellow wings? A Phantom or a scooter?

Cheers Dave. Yea.. I was of the impression that these were supposed to be easy, clean finished kits to get kids into building.. those seams could scare off some truly hardened modellers lol

Thank you muchly :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Ian.. is that Mr. Models you are thinking of on Cuba St? If so, he is only open Wednesday-Sunday these days. There is also a bookshop near the corner of Main & Ruahine Sts called 747 that has some models, but nowhere near as extensive as Mr. Models Hope this...

Hi all First post for a while.. and first model that has come near completion for some time. I decided to tackle the Hobby Boss 1/72 F4F-3 Wildcat. I started this kit as a “quick build” between club meetings, as the theme for the October meeting was Yellow.. and hobby boss kits are meant...

Hi All Last minute Charley has arrived!! And with any luck, I will get time enough to sort this before the deadline. I, along with my two sons, Cam and Logan, are each building a Panther tank. We are building the most unaccurate offering, that being the Airfix 1/76 kit. First, the...
