Hi guys! I unearthed this wee thing in our garden shed: My folks bought it for me from New Plymouth Cash Converters about 8-10 years ago, with the intention of hanging it from the ceiling. A school friend and I tried to paint it as a Wanganui Aero Work topdressing machine, then as an RNZAF Airtrainer....til the rattlecan ran out of yellow! Anyways, this aircraft was made by SIG with an OS Max 40 FP engine (I'm in the midst of a teardown and overhaul of this at work), and had a cowl and a F-16 or Tomcat-style canopy. It was originally allover white, with gold tape trim, and USAF titles. I'd love to know what model it is, as I intend to fly it once I have the motor up and running. By the way, if you have any spare SIG decals (preferably for this model!) that are sitting around, please let me know!

Judging by the size of the spinner, the engine may be a little over-powered for that model Zac.

Yeah, thanks Dave I had a look at the SIG website, and I've a strong feeling that my bird is a SIG Kobra....I'll post pics of the new paintjob sometime soon!
