More RAAF video, didn’t think I was worth a new thread.

My credit rating?

Qatar have added a bit of colour to their fleet QATAR C-17 You’ve made me think about committing som whiffery if I do get this kit, perhaps one of the RAAF’s Caribou schemes might look good on a C-17? RAAF Boo Boo

And they’re back B2’s back in Australia.

Just something I came across on YouTube, thought some of you may enjoy it RAAF ex Diamond Storm 22

The Ford would come in at about 1.65 m long, a fantastic size for an R/C project

So, converting that to AUD, add in the “Australia Tax”, import duties, 10% GST it should only cost about 1 kidney, half my liver and my first born…. BARGAIN!!

It’s now 5 minutes after “shortly”, and not far off “in a little while” - I want t now

It looks like it’s going to be a great kit and it’s not another messyspitwolfstang! The scale is fine with me, I don’t have a 1/1 example in the garage to measure so I’m not concerned, perhaps they could have made it in 1/32 to appease the scale junkies and therefore made a few more sales, but as I tried to drunkenly intimate, for me it’s the subject, not the scale.

While my clear parts arrived unscathed, they definitely aren’t up to the standard of the rest of the parts (on the sprue, no idea on fit as yet) so I’d be in the market for some nice new clear parts, after a few fermented beverages I’ve even considered trying to vac form some new ones but once sobriety returned I realised that I have neither the talent nor skill to do any better than what was in the box.

Looks like I’m going to need to go back to work so I can afford 3 or 4 of these, loving the RCAF and Swedish liveries and I’m sure there’s plenty more decal sets just waiting to tempt me.

Whatever they plan for kit #2 I’ll buy it. I’m more than happy to spend a few bucks to support an ambitious crew, who may, one day, produce a nice A4G and K kit!

My Mum met the Queen, an Old Phil, and Frank Sinatra, and Jerry Lewis, I think that makes me a clown prince of some sort?

The RAF have donated a GR4 to the Aviation Heritage Museum in WA. Might be time for me to fire up the ute (mortgage the house to pay for diesel) and head across the country for a visit! GR4 to Aus Museum Video GR4 to Aus article

Bugger, that’s almost half of what I paid! C’est la guerre, even at the double the price, if I divide the cost by the hours I’ll take to build it, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than my other hobbies :)
