Yep! I posted the ebay link a couple weeks back, and managed to get a modeling "Mate" lol of mine down under to pick one up for me, said he couldnt find the other, but will keep an eye out.
In regards to the paint, it seems fairly thin and if someone wanted to tackle it, wouldn't be hard to remove and rescribe accurate panel lines then repaint whatever scheme the owner desired. I wish they'd do something similar with the bugs as was done with the F16's and allow us to choose different decal schemes. The cannucks have some mighty fine showbirds that would be incredible subjects for such a release.
Some examples for your viewing pleasure:

Greetings:
I am new to the board. Here is my first contribution... This is a link to the website in Australia that is selling the 2 Aussie versions of the bbi Hornet.
You can avoid E-bay
and buy direct. The $40.00(AUD) tax does not apply to orders shipped outside Australia.
I am thinking about adding these 2 birds to my collection. They are still quite expensive.

One hundred and fifty three - 1:18 scale aircraft on the ceiling looks :shock: damn good!
Hello
Welcome and thanks for the link.
It really is such a good idea - to have the ability to easily alter basic schemes to run off a few hundred for an airshow, or a country- or a military base
...very cool indeed.
And those Canadian schemes are real sweet I guess a little more than an "easy alter" 
, but damn cool....
