Colin at Freighdog can do you SRAAM 100s if you ask him nicely. Try messaging him on here or sending him an e-mail via his website.

Inspired by DogfighterZen's wonderful Seafang/Spiteful, I just won a Rareplanes vacform one off eBay at a nice-ish price.

Not QUITE sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but something will come along I'm sure.

Managed to finally snag a Special Hobby A-17 Nomad, the one with the striking yellow and black colours, for a sensible price. You can definitely see a familial resemblance with the Dauntless....Hmmm...

Especially as Bristol used one to test the Hercules, as well as the A-33 being pretty much an A-17 with a more powerful engine and better performance

A-33 was the USAAC designation for Douglas 8A-5N aircraft that had been ordered by Norway, and they weren't
just a re-engined A-17. They had the
ventral gun position that was an option
on the export Model 8A.

Interesting. You can't see that on this picture,  it then if it's the prototype I guess that would make sense.

That's because the photo on Wikipedia is mislabeled. It's an A-17A, not a Model 8A-5N/A-33.

This is an 8A-5N in US Army service as an A-33.
