Hi all,
Originally I bought this to build a Baron 58, but the amount of work involved terrified me and it remained in the stash for a year or so. Then I had an idea...how about a VIP or "hack" air force machine? Why not look across The Ditch to my Aussie cousins?
So here it is, 2 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force's Beechcraft V35 Bonanza, used by the Canberra and later F-111 crews to flit about the place. Minicraft 1/48 kit with High Planes Models 1/72 Canberra and (I think) 1/48 Winjeel decals.

I don't know why, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this build. It's a lovely kit with crisp details. I need to find excuses to get their Super Cub and Cherokee. And one day I'll snag a 1/72 Bonanza to Baronify...

Beautiful!! I think I have a 1/72 one, or two, for you (when I can find them again). Postage will likely be the major pain, though.

What an incredibly sharp Bonanza!
Yet more proof (as if any more was needed) that few things spice up an aircraft like those Red 'Roos!

Looking sharp, has class.
Just the aircraft for a base to have around to do odd jobs.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I was hoping this build would catch some attention!

You're too kind, Frank! Though I must confess to being rather proud of that photo.
