And the Macchie's are still being flown periodically, just not on any active RNZAF duties. They often fly over my place when being put through their paces - <sigh> .

I heard the A-4's are now all fecked as water still managed to get into them despite them being wrapped.

I guess it's the old story. The political opposition will scream and shout at decisions made by the government of the day, but become strangely quiet on the issue when they themselves are returned to office!

I know some members didn`t like the RAF Harrier release, but you could of hide it behind the tree`s a bit better...

Very nice picture and diorama. Where you get the `taxiway` section from old chap??

There are enough pictures of RAF Harriers on page 8,9,10, 12 in this thread, and mine's are on page 14 counted from the beginning, or 5 counted from the rear.

Those are the right ones! But there are different color shades if you want to buy more than one set (4 sheets included).

Hi, the taxiway sections are manufactured by a US company called 'Verlinden Productions'. I believe they are available in different scales too.
