Ooohh, goody! 'FLY' 1:48th Blunty arriving soon . .

[general]

Kevin in Roto-vegas stopped in this week for a looksee on progress of his Scooters.
He also mentioned the astonishing news of a new, Czech 48th Blunty!
That's next on the build sched.
And, would I like one . . ?

Uumm. . . lemme think . . .

Like the 48th CA TA-4J the injected styrene FLY kit has some additional resin.
No-brainer really.

Addendum: edited to add correct reference of the TA-4J, not the MB339. (Minor brain fart...)

The Scale Aircraft Modelling April 2013 issue has nice looking spread on the RNZAF Strikemaster. Detail provided by two of this forums members. Might be worth a look at. It also includes a nice build article about the Fly 1/48 Strikemaster. Complete with backwards facing Kiwis! Another article about a 1/72 RNZAF T.11 Airfix Vampire in glossy finish may inspire to complete one for yourself. This magazine issue maybe well worth getting for future RNZAF Blunty reference.

Nertz.
I missed it. The newsagent here doesn't stock much in the way of model mags, so I miss a lot of the good stuff. Not that I buy them, it would be good to have the option.
Shall have to try an online source.

Cheers, Damon.

General. I don't know where you live .I still see the odd copy around at the moment, in Auckland city. If you would like a copy $19.00 + ,PM me and I'll see if there is one left.

I've had a tutu around the Interweb for the April issue. Seems the most likely, for economy, is direct from SAM.
Rather than all the rigmarole of airmail and exchange rates I'd be interested to know if you can scare one up round your manor, Damon.

Appreciate the offer!

Ross in Turangi.
