Cheers guys,Few more this time some RNZAF birds included (Note; I think the Corsair on the left is a tad inaccurate seeing as the RNZAF never had the 4 prop kind?)

109ROAMING · 01-19-2009, 10:22 PM

I'm currently in love with this bird

RAAF I take it? Anyone able to give me some profiles?info on similar birds??

Awesome shots Daniel mate!

Catch22 · 01-19-2009, 11:40 PM

In regards to the Corsair, you're right, that's a -4, and you guys never had anything later than -1Ds.

109ROAMING · 01-19-2009, 11:42 PM

Cheers guys

Thought so Cory .I'm glad ,I'm not a big fan of 4 prop ones its almost like a 4 prop Hurricane

few others

Catch22 · 01-20-2009, 12:27 AM

That's a LOT of models!

Wildcat · 01-20-2009, 02:03 AM

Some cool models there, I like the Baltimore

Great job there Daniel - and it is difficult shooting through glass, especially with an autofocus camera. Looks like a large collection they've got there, and I guess some of them have been there for some time; it is a good example of what modelling was like in the '60's and early '70's. I saw some that brought back memories! Thanks for the effort Daniel, well done mate.

109ROAMING · 01-20-2009, 06:33 AM

Cheers ,Few of the Hurricane(sorry they're so dark)

Not a model!
