The colours look a bit odd or is that just the photo?

[smithy]

Yeah that turquoise is a bit off.

Still nice to see a little model recognition of 14 Sqn.

[vgp]

meant to be grey isn't it, a bit of useless info Re: Ebay someone had a Large douglas factory model up for sale last year of a TA-4K with fern roundels with either to celebrate the signing of the purchase of the skyhawk or the first or last to come off the production line on the base(can't remember which one) was a nice model still in good condition.

How much did it go for, vgp?

[vgp]

around US $86 to some guy in the US.

[corsair67]

Geez, I thought something like that would go for a heap more than that?

I guess postage to Australia/New Zealand would be a great deal more than US$86 though!

[vgp]

same here re: price the postage would probably be only around $20-30 US

[corsair67]

Okay, the model must have been smaller and lighter than I imagined then?

[vgp]

about the same size at the macchi pictured, just enough to sit on Politician or CAS desk

Has anyone seen one of these 'up close and personal'? Are they any good quality wise (apart from the colour issue as already discussed?). I note on the website that there is NO MENTION that it is RNZAF and not IAF?

[vgp]

just seen the pics unfortunatley- Re: RNZAF Scheme best bet would be just to ask via the contact us link cheers.

[tfly]

Tried that (no reply?) thanks for info anyway....

[vgp]
