Hi All, This maybe old news, however ,I popped into my local hobby store, they were carrying a couple of starter sets of a Vampire that came with RNZAF markings. Just thought I'd pass it along

Just been released, I'm currently listening to the audio version and so far it's good and makes a good companion to the movie Danger Close
The Battle of Long Tan
From the bestselling author of Kokoda and Gallipoli comes the epic story of Australia’s deadliest Vietnam War battle.
4.31 pm: Enemy [on] left flank. Could be serious. 5.01 pm: Enemy … penetrating both flanks and to north and south. 5.02: Running short of ammo. Require drop through trees.
It was the afternoon of 18 August 1966, hot, humid with grey monsoonal skies. D Company, 6RAR were four kilometres east of their Nui Dat base, on patrol in a rubber plantation not far from the abandoned village of Long Tan. A day after their base had suffered a mortar strike, they were looking for Viet Cong soldiers.
Then - just when they were least expecting - they found them. Under withering fire, some Diggers perished, some were grievously wounded, the rest fought on, as they remained under sustained attack

Hey Zac, What about the ICM Beaufort in 1/48? should you want to go big. I'm thinking along your lines for a Kiwi Beau.

This is an interesting development. It will be interesting to see if it there would be uses beyond special forces.

Morning all, I'm looking to build the above mentioned SDB using the Academy SBD-2 boxing and Ventura decals,as part of a slow build of RNZAF PTO WW2 types.
From comparing the Sprue maps all the parts for a -5 are listed as unused parts. I'm after any photos of NZ5057 or similar to use as reference in particular for weathering, I'd be grateful for any photos/ links please
Cheers

This maybe a silly question, However, are there any plans to replace the nose with one that is accurate? I appreciate that it would fairly expensive, but thought I'd ask.

8/3/22 The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Government, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America. At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes. The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies – owners of MIG-29 jets – to act in the same vein.

Seeing the Apollo 10 CM was the highlight of my trip there some 20 odd years ago. I made sure to get many many photos of her.
