Hey everyone, I've been lurking for nearly a decade now (about as long as I've been using the site), but I just wanted to express my thanks for how great of a site you guys run and how truly wonderful a resource the site is for a profile artist like me. I do mainly "what if" profiles, though I do base them very heavily on real world examples, right down to the nitty gritty details when possible. If only every military had a site of dedicated "train spotters" like you folks tying images to individuals and serial numbers for a given aircraft throughout its entire history. Your site really is a huge help to me whenever I'm depicting an Australian aircraft in my profile. In case anyone's wondering what I do with the research, here's an example: http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php...04396#msg104396 http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/to....html#msg720936
Cheers, Logan |

Excellent Logan...thanks for posting. I like the "What if"" schemes...I tried to register on your Modellers site but it say that registration is disabled?

Thanks, Dave! I just wanted to let your team know that the work on your site is greatly appreciated by folks like me using it as a resource and reference for our work. I think the What If Forums temporarily disable registrations from time to time when they're getting bombarded by spammers. It should be back up soonish, but I really on't know. The Beyond the Sprues forum should let you register no problem, though.
Cheers, Logan |

Indeed "what if?" Zero in RAAF Service 1941,..very real,..but way out left field
Story somewhere in our 2006 Newsletter bank,..true story regarding ,.. "maybe" As for the Hind in Oz Colours,..two arrived and were held at Tindal after being seised by Customs, were actually imported for PNG when they were dealing with Bougainville crisis in the 90's. Imported by a South Africa Privateers . Wonder what happen to them??? Truth is sometimes stranger then fiction, eh Gordy Attached Image |

Hi
That is a mark left by the "Remove Before Flight" tag on the static vent port. Yes it does look like a lump in that photo. Cheers Ian C |

That is neat! I never knew that story about the Hinds. Grubby Fingers was also working on a model of the Hind in those same colors, so I think it's something that a few folks like the look of. And who knows? With the investigations into getting rid of the Tigers and replacing them with a different attack helicopter...well, Russia's still building Mi-35s! The Zero's neat. I have a number of WWII-era "what if" Australian profiles, too—including a hypothetical captured Heinkel He 100.
