Thommo Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Just been from my hometown of Armidale to our nations capital Canberra for work, which requires changing planes in Sydney. Both Sydney & Canberra have an historic aircraft on display in the terminals. The Sydney one has been there for a few years now (and from the pic below, you can work out where ''QANTAS'' came from), but the Canberra one is newish. What is on display in your airports? And next time I'm at Tamworth airport I'll have another one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan Hothersall Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) We have the Vickers Vimy G-EAOU here in Adelaide. Although not in the terminal, it’s on airport grounds and with the terminal expansion that’s about to start, there has been talk of it being moved into the terminal. https://flic.kr/p/UBEdEi Edited August 17, 2018 by Ryan Hothersall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Nice ... thank you for posting Can't think of any display at Islip MacArthur at all at the terminal. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DDC Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Might be cheating, but there are a few planes at my home airfield, Gatton Airpark (between Brisbane and Toowoomba) 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I've just ordered the Airfix kit in 1/72 for the Avro 504 to make the Qantas version. It's going to take some serious modification of the fuselage depth & nose (to replicate the Sunbeam Dyak engine). But I found a great build thread with good pics of how to do it - which basically involves just using the Airfix fuselage sides & scratching the top/bottom/nose/cockpit. Will be my biggest scratch-build effort to date. Should keep me out of trouble for a while I'll need to order the Hawkeye decals too, and maybe try out some of that Uschi elastic rigging.
