I'm at work so can't link, but they've posted CG of a Vought OS2U Kingfisher kit. Quite fortuitous as two ex-RAAF examples are coming to NZ for rebuild to fly.

The F2H-3/4 Banshee may well appear on my purchase list when it's released ... if it's released. ;)

KittyHawk seem to be quite true when it comes to delivering on what they promise.

No idea - though you can get both RAN and RNZAF decals separately.

Sam's a Seasprite fan - ever since she saw one "bow" to the crowd at a show - so I can see one of these and some RNZAF/RNZN markings in my future.

Anyone planning to whiff a littlebird into an Australian Army SOF support bird had better be quick in the new defence white paper reference to light helicopters for special forces means what it seems to mean.
