Oh, yes! Very nice! 8)


Unfortunately, due to pressure from 'commercial interests', the Government refused the RAAF funding to procure Sun Moths for the A.A.M.S., and the project was abandoned.

This may have been a good thing, as I seem to remember the name for the 2nd aircraft was proposed to have been "Placebo". ;)

Thanks, Gents, I enjoyed building this model, even if the decals gave me grief . . .  as usual, there's a few rough edges, but don't get too close, and you wont see them.
@Finsrin; I thought long and hard about wing struts, but in the end, decided against. Apart from on undercarriages, struts are against the ethics of One wing Biplanes, and anyway, struts would get in the way of the loading hatches . . .  ;)


cheers,
Robin.

It looks right. Like you'd see a Sun Moth in one of those lovely sepiatone photos of Old Australia. Bravo!
