They also have a DC-3 & Sptfire Mk V under development amongst other things (B-25, T-33 etc). The DC-3 is been released next I believe

For you GA fanatics Carenado have a King Air C-90, Cessna 210 and Commander 114 in the pipeline

I take the lot bar the GA , away from the kidding , the P3 is really going to be the interesting one to compare to the KBT Orion .

Is there a reason the P-3 has eight prop blades?

That orions been put back a while, now its after the SR-71/YF-12 and probably the A-4

Mozzy sounds good,

Im sure VS will do a better job than the one on offer at the moment......and re Carenado, those guys cant put a foot wrong if your into GA. I got their B-58 (last buy up for a while now) and its just lovely. Im a little underwhelmed with Razbam ....but you cant have too many P-3's so we'll see i guess.

Jeez, just reading this back.....Im turning into a picky old bugger.......like Ian.....and Adam

And on the rotary side of New Zealand military aviation, the Nemeths (and Milviz) are still working away on their Agusta A-109 helicopter.

From what I understand, a couple of crated RNZAF examples just arrived a few days ago at Ohakea and are currently being assembled. (The ultimate Lego kit!)
Also, looks like the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust just added their new A-109 to the register. Just needs all of the gaudy corporate logos applied now.

Yeah the cockpit of the A-109 for the Naki looks very similar to the Nemeth example..the RNZAF examples are quite different

The Razbam A-7 looks good though...I dont have it, but it looks as good as the Iris A-10 which I do have

In addition to the Mosquito, Avenger, DC-3/C-47, Spitfire & T-33 Vertigo also have a Vans RV-8 and PT-17 Stearman under development as well...busy people!

Paul , running with the Dauntless for dive , the Hellcat and Bearcat to finish , and Panther to really kill the party ... The DC-3 really should be the piano knocker .

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2011 9:48 pm**

Oohhhhh that RV8 so nice, I just hope they do a tail dragger as well.

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2011 9:55 pm**

Taildragger also included with RV-8...

theres also this RV-7

I really wish they had stuck to the WWII-Korean theme but i guess its the only way to devolpe and build a company .

Looks like IRIS are working on a Eurofighter, a development screenie up on their Facebook profile:

I've heard that Iris are making a Bae 146, a bit unfortunate seeing quality wings are doing one as well.
