Not trying to persuade you in ANY way whatsoever, in a NZ "what if" build.....
I can just see these in a spiffy NZ camouflage.....

Nice one Jan!

We DID nearly get F-16s in 2001 actually...

(personally I always wished we'd get Harriers!!!)

Lucky13 · 05-06-2009, 06:40 AM

Just saw that, was 26 Falcons right?

Why don't you lads build a "what if" RNZAF thingy then? Would be a cool thing to see what kinda crates that you'd like to see in your countrys colours!

F-16, F-18, JAS....a JAS would look cool in that three colour camouflage!

D*mn! Getting worked up here myself!

A4K · 05-06-2009, 07:56 AM

I don't know how many, but the contract was signed, I think, before the Government pulled the plug on the deal...and scrapped the whole Strike wing.
(No comment...)

No 'what if's' from me, btw, I'm a realist!

A tease...tease...tease.....

Ja,ja, you Sveedish lads, alvays za big joke!!!

Lucky13 · 05-06-2009, 08:16 AM

Ya know uz too well ya....

109ROAMING · 05-06-2009, 08:34 AM

Is that not a cool looking jet or what? I can see a small airforce of Gripens for me down the track (Its getting out of hand again!) I agree Jan I think a Gripen will look Ace in RNZAF camo ,but like Evan I dono if I could blow a whole kit a 'what if' -sigh to much of a realist

Thanks for the pics mate! Those 1/48 kits look super tasty! Espicially that top one!

Lucky13 · 05-06-2009, 08:36 AM

Get cracking then....

109ROAMING · 05-06-2009, 09:20 AM

Theres so many models I'm planning/hoping to make to go towards my 'life collection'

I think il make a list....

Lucky13 · 05-06-2009, 09:39 AM

Time do an updated list for the forum as well then, eh?

109ROAMING · 05-06-2009, 09:53 AM

Take a while to make!

(You may have to give me a while

)

Rough sketch of ''to build list'

Every aircraft operated by the RNZAF ,Hell of alot of German WWI and WWII aircraft as well as interwar aircraft (Lufthansa Fw-200 Condors etc

) Same with British and american stuff -also a large amount of RAAF aircraft and a nice mixture of Japanese stuff .I seem to lose interest in aviation a wee bit after WWII but still alot of things that take my fancy to be modelled!

Airframes · 05-06-2009, 09:36 PM

That Gripen is a nice looking bird...given me an idea for a 'what if' too.
As for lists, I've lost count of the many I've compiled over the years. Oh to win the lottery, and have a hangar-sized shed in which to store all the potential builds! I'd need another lifetime in which to build them all though!

Why not a totally spiffy RAF J-35 Draken old sock?

Airframes · 05-07-2009, 03:49 AM

Hmm, not sure about the Draaken, but maybe a RAF Viggen, or Gripen. Also, a RAF F5E has been on my mind for a while......
