Sorry Phil, I'm only likely to fall for that one after I've polished the bottle off in one go! Worth a crack though

Thanks for the welcome Dave.
In terms of my interest in the Norwegian squadrons in the RAF, it came about as my girlfriend is Norwegian and I lived in Norway for a time. Just came out of that, they also tend to be some of the most "colourful" of RAF examples from the time with Norwegian coloured fin flashes on the rudders, cannon barrels in the 2 Norwegian Spitfire squadrons (331 and 332). The personnel also often have some very interesting personal stories as they had to to escape occupied Norway to make it to the Norwegian forces in exile in Britain. Bit off topic though :-)
With rhe RNZAF stuff, I have a 1/72 Fujimi A-4 which I'm converting to a Kiwi A-4K on the go at the mo and a 1/72 MB-339 which I will be converting to a 14 Sqn 339CB coming up some time.
Cheers,
Tim.
