Hmmm, I miss Red Dwarf, I used to watch it all the time but I can’t find it on any channels anymore. Gotto love those campy British space comedies ( I also loved the old Doctor Who’s, The ones with Tom Baker as the “Doctor” were the best!).
I do not know any paint references for Soviet tractor paints, sorry
ModelMaster Russian Top Side Green is a good match. Any flat Black is close enough.

Rock n roll! I picked up a Hasegawa Spitfire Mk IX now I just need my decals! [:D]
Hey Jay, for future reference Revell AG are now re-boxing the Hase Spitfire Mk.IX at about two thirds the price of the Hasegawa kit.
I know what brand of Spitfire Mk.IX I’ll be buying from now on.
Cheers
I finally have time to start on this build, I’m going to be doing a P-47 Razorback. pics soon
Thad
Darson, you would think that is the case, I could swear when I first saw the Revell Spitfires on the shelf here they were $19 cdn, but then last week I saw one for $32 and the yesterday when I bought my Spitire, the Revell one was $36. I don’t know if there was some sort of shortage or what but they seam to have really gone up in price![V] I picked my Hasegawa Spitfire up for $25. [:D] Actually it is the one in the IDF box but all the parts are there to make a Mk.IXc which is what Doug Lindsey flew.
KingThad, could you tell me what ace you will doing for the P-47 and I’ll add it to the front page. Also the build doesn’t start until April, do you really want to start now?[%-)]
I guess I should have read the start date[D)]. Jay I will have to go look at my decal sheet again, Im at work and at the moment I can not think of the Ace Im doing.
Thad
Hey Jay Im going to do Lt Robert Yaeger P-47D, 4oth FS, 35 FG (5 victories)
Thad
Jay, good pickup with the Hasegawa Spit!!! Around here the Revell kit retails for about $30 AUS while any of the Hasegawa Spits retails for about $55 AUD.
The main issue with the Revell kit is actually finding one in stock. Word has got around that it’s the Hasegawa kit re-boxed and so they are very hard to find.
Cheers
GRRRRRRR dangit**![banghead]** dangit**![banghead]** dangit**![banghead]** I just found out that the accurate minatures YaK-1 I ordered has been discontinued I’ll try to find one at Greatmodels or Squadron online although I perfer to order through my LHS I’ll keep ya posted
Thats really frustrating Panzerwulff. Hope you are able to find it!
Thansk Kingthad, I’ll add it to the front page.
Good luck to ya mate, i did an exaustive search for a pic or colour plate of Littles Camel or Camels, he appears to have flown quite a few and come up with nothing, i even contacted the Australian war memorial at Canberra and still nothing, I did however find a pic of a SQD lineup that was taken about 4 weeks after his death and all the Camels appear to be the same scheme but as far as personal markings are concerned i have no idea…Australias highest ever scoring ace and the only pics i could find were of his Triplanes and Sopwith Pup…
Anyway have a look here http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/australi/little1.html
Chris I’ll have a look at the LHS today cause i think they have a few Soviet kits from A/M not sure whether or not it’s the Yak but i’ll have a look…
Darren & Jay i managed to get my Spitfire MK VIII kits from hasegawa for $25:00 AU, the MK VIII is the same as the MK IX just different boxing, I ended up grabbing 3 of them 2 of which i’ve built and the 3rd went to Tweets, in hindsight i should have bought all of them cause they will never be back at that price again…
Hey Chris i just got back from the LHS and they have several Yak1 from A/M in 1/48 with the markings of that Soviet chick in stock for $29’95 AU, If you want one ill be happy to send it over…
Jules that would be awesome i would have to get a bank check drawn out in Au $ I’ll have to find out where to get one or if they have international money orders or something drop me an E-mail and we can figure it out
[#oops] just looked and saw you already E-mailed me LOL
Bump!
OK, I’m in, if that cool. A Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang, for John C. Meyer. Meyer shot down 24 aircraft, including a jet. Later, as a jet pilot himself, he took out 2 more jets in Korea. He was the only pilot to be awarded the DSC 3 times. Overall, the 7th highest American pilot of all time. As for why I chose him…well, the Tamiya kit was opened, and it included decals for him. (I got as far as painting 1 part, no. A17, the wrong colours, I guess that’s OK for this GB?)
Great to have you on board Osher, I’ll add you to the front.
As long as you don’t do anymore painting, I’ll let it slide…[;)]
I promise, I promise! Thanks for adding me in
Put me down for the 1/32 Trumpeter P-40 (Warhawk Mk. IIA) flown by R.T. Smith with the AVG. I’ve seen his kill count listed as 8.25, 8.67 and 8.9. Not sure which is the correct number.
I just ordered my decal set and an aftermarket cockpit (the cutting edge set). This will be my first attempt with an AM resin cockpit, looking forward to it! 
Welcome to the Allied Aces GB Espins, I’ll add you to the front too.
