Yes, that does look nice. Who makes this die-cast Strikemaster?

That will drop the value of my Aeroclub one! I am thinking about putting my Aeroclub ones (3 of them) on Ebay for the stupid billionaire prices one or two got. Hope the purchasers weren't disappointed. Hope the stupid prices stay if I off load mine ;D |

The diecast 1/72 scale Blunty is made by a firm called Skymax, a subsidiary of Hobby Master which can best be described as the fastest growing manufacturer of diecast aircraft models in the world. Mine turned up yesterday, a few have been sold on Trade Me already however don't pay an inflated price for one of these ($65 max i'd suggest)  & best of all it looks this good right out of the box ;D    |

That is really nice, it's hard to believe that 1/72nd scale, and the paint work is a lot nicer than I recall ever seeing on a real one, as they were pretty rough workhorses by the time I was in the RNZAF

Great pics of the Blunty - I now have several "RNZAF" diecast models. Other forum members may be interested in the 1/72 RNZAF P-40 Kittyhawk made by Corgi Aviation Archive, which is still on sale for 12 pounds (about NZ$30, incl delivery!) from www.anticsonline.co.uk. Another website (www.hlj.com) often has the RNZAF Buffalo (in 1/48 scale) and Avenger (in 1/72) "on sale" I have purchased both models from this site and recommend their service. The RNZAF Harvard (by HobbyMaster) is an excellent piece, but now hard to find. Gemini Jets also make the RNZAF 757 in 1/200 scale - can be found on eBay. |
