If people are interested in seeing a bit more I can always put links in for others.

After all I did take about 200+ shots

Hey Greg, are there any kits out there now that would build up into an accurate Aussie Tiger?

I was in the grandstand seat but I have a digital camera with a 10 X optical zoom which can be extended out to 15 times with digital enhancement. The grandstand seats are about approx 10 - 15 meters back from the runway.

The digital zoom is no good for fast action but for close ups on the runway it is fine.

I love the camera I have got but it has a nasty habit of getting dust in the lens assembly. I have had to send it way to get fixed twice now. Once more and it would be economical to upgrade. Some really good shots I have had to delete because of the spotting caused

I realised after I did it that I should have posted this in the plane pics section my apologies for that.

If you want to move this I understand.

Here are some more.

Yes there was.

Hi folks,

If you look at the picture of the Blackhawk taken by Sisko:

Yuo will see that the scheme is similar to that which will also be worn by the MRH-90s when they enter service (see here for more) - though the scheme may be slightly different given the different paints being used.

Greg

Richard,

Having never built one, I can't really say. What you should do is look for one that includes the French HAP variant since that is what the Australian Tiger ARH is based upon. If you want any further details, just let me know.

Greg
