    Allan, that's just pretty. I've liked Antarctic schemes since the old Revell P2V on skis. Makes a nice theme collection, through the years down under, way down under.

    And I missed the standing kangaroo roundel on the fuselage! Is that rare? Or is this a one-off, to show the flag? That is a lovely build, nice and bright!
    Did you find the Future?

    Thanks Bernard, the standing kangaroo was also applied to one or two Sabres before the bounding kangaroo was adopted, haven't seen my friend yet regarding Future.

    A great build also! Very colorful, and ditto Bernard on the kangaroo roundel - very unusual.
