My first subjects are from the few months in late 1941 until mid 1942. I am looking to use illustrations and models to cover a brief history of the fall of Singapore, the bombing of North Australia and the IJNs fore-ray into the indian ocean which include the HMAS Vampire getting in harms way many times during that time.
The second would be the battle of Coral Sea. Using mainly die-cast planes to illustrate the weapons of the opposing forces
The third would be on the HMAS Sydneys (both 1&2) there is of course a very good 350 scale model kit of SMS Emden which Sydney 1 sank. I intend using this with brass detailing and a computer drawn illustration of HMAS Sydney 1 in this part of the display. For my HMAS Sydney 2 part of the display and I would love to use a modified Airfix Ajax.
I would be very interested in the parts you mention to convert the model. I am mostly retired now but I have been both a professional photographer and graphic designer and would be happy to assist with providing you with any illustrated information regarding the use of your parts. I would also include an acknowledgement in the planned display case of you assistance if you wish.
Please advise me of what I should do now.
Regards,
Peter Rea
