Nicely done, oz rb! I really like how you added the white stripes on the tail and adding those black anti-glare panels! It's always a treat to see another Aussie bird around here!
Welcome! I look forward to seeing more of your stuff!

Love the RAAF Invader in foliage green. It's easy to imagine those still in Australian service during the Vietnam War :)
-
Nice A-26. I have thought of doing something similar.
BTW, your fiend wouldn't happen to be John Baxter by chance?

a couple more of the val..

you know the funny thing woth the val is i really enjoyed building it..overall it was an easy kit(except for the decals and canopy) and look good on the shelf and at $13.95 a bargain!!!
yep gtx that would be him..doing an alternate raaf/ran..1939-1947(ww11 runs a little over time ;) )
thanks for the kind words

Nice A-26, one of my favorite aircraft ---
It was very interesting to read just recently, that the RAF took on three A-26's at about the end of the war, they were tested against the new Bristol Buckingham where the A-26 won quite handily. No order came about though because the war's end was in sight ---
Your project is quite plausable then ----
-
My scenario would have the RAAF deciding to stick with Douglas products after their success using the A-20/Boston. The A-26 would thus be acquired instead of the Mosquito.
-
we're going along a similar line...but no beaufort..beaufighter's from the start and a26's replacing beau's
-
Love that color you used on the Val!
One thing I like about the Val is the different schemes and interpretations of them that you can go with and I think you hit a bullseye here!

Lovin the Val :)
-
Both are great! The Invader is a show stealer though!
-
Whatz to say - those are two more for my favorites list :) :)
Color schemes are right on :)
