RAAF Auster March 25 2009 at 1:58 PM		(Login jvenables) from IP address 202.136.245.5


The new 1:72 scale Auster kit from AZ Models has been released (wasn't there a 1:72 scale kit promised from Swprd or Special Hobby a few years ago?) and I was looking at photos of the kit parts, decals, etc on a European website. One of the two boxings includes RAAF markings but shows a green/brown camo scheme. I was always under the impression that wartime RAAF Austers were overall Foliage Green - any comments?
