Anthony in NZ Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yep, you will enjoy that, its a really good DVD! Oh I so want to do this cockpit on my Model...I wonder how far away Roy is to producing it? Must email him There is also a great book on RNZAF Skyhawks by my good friend Don Simms https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/skyhawks-the-history-of-the-rnzaf-skyhawk-hardback/10200934 Cheers Anthony KiwiZac and CJP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg W Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks for posting the link, I'll definitely check it out. It is apparent that both of our Skyhawks are languishing at the moment. Not for lack of enthusiasm though! Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Palimaka Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Can't wait to see more. Such precision work so far Anthony, sounds like you're waiting for a cockpit. Interesting that there are so many NZ Skyhawks either done or in progress here. It's an interesting and attractive bird.

hamfists nz Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Roy is at a modeling Expo of some sort in Germany..Moson? hes a busy man..I hope he can fit our project in. It’s not exactly the sort of work he normally does!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 I think he is pretty keen, he has even had the inst panel decals printed already. I am just waiting for the masters to do a final test fit after he has added his magic touch to them. hamfists nz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg W Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The RNZAF A-4 DVD arrived in the mail today. I thoroughly enjoyed the introduction to this aspect of the A-4 story. It was something to see a line of Skyhawks going through the streets of Auckland after being unloaded from the aircraft carrier! Now it's time to get the book you recommended.

CJP Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hi Anthony - how are things with you? - haven't seen any updates on the A4K or the RNZAF Mossie for a while - suffering withdrawals waiting to see an update CJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 LOL, caught out! I've been busy on my Auster rebuild. My engineers have me on a few deadlines and modelling had been on the backburner. Not from lack of want to get stuck in again. I have been working on my rear bulkhead and First Aid box as well as several other brackets etc. How about you how's your Skyhawk coming along?

Great to see you are restoring an Auster - a real classic - had a minor setback with the A4G when it flipped backwards off the modelling desk to the floor with subsequent damage but back on track again after a session in the panel beaters!

Anthony in NZ Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Well great recovery mate, you would never know....superb result so far! Yeah, the Auster is a T.7 variant I am rebuilding back to 'stock' factory military configuration...Quite the challenge finding all the original equipment!

hamfists nz Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I see on the barracuda Facebook page that Roy is ‘finishing off a lot of projects’ before he goes to the nationals. Are any of them ours? *fingers crossed emoji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) 18 minutes ago, hamfists nz said: Any news on the cockpit/hud set Anthony? Yes actually. The initial parts did not work well for casting and so Kerry has had to redesign the breakdown. There are less parts and some of the features had to be enhanced (like some of the bezels, switches and screens). The redesign looks brilliant and I think much nicer! I have a print of the redesigned parts and they look amazing. I will try and take some photos in the coming days. I suspect (really hope) the finished product wont be too far away now....
