RAAF BAC 111

Postby tor lives » Sat Jan 07, 2017 9:38 pm

Hi guys,
With the likelihood of a 1:72 BAC 111 landing in my stash in the near future, I have been gathering my photo references.
As I had the privilege and pleasure of crewing the RAAF BAC 111 fleet for several years I really need a descent scale
RAAF BAC 111 in my collection, (I had one many moons ago.....the old Airways kit, but she has long since left my fleet). During my career I have indeed been most fortunate to have had the opportunity of crewing some of the most significant and classic jet airliners in aviation history.
Anyway, this is what I am planning:

And if ya wondering what the Prime Minister's BAC 111 looked like inside

This was the 1:72 Airways kit I built many years ago, but, as mentioned, she has long since left the fleet, (currently resides in the collection of an ex-RAAF BAC 111 pilot).

For a vacform, it wasn't a bad kit to build if I remember correctly. I have another 1:72 Airways BAC 111 in the stash, but that will become "surplus to requirement" when the new one arrives.

Nice shots Ray, I know who took that 2nd shot in your first post :D

I am working on a 75 Years of 34SQN for our Annual comp and may be dragging my AIM BAC1-11 out of the stash. I just need to work out where I will have to cut the fuselage to make it a -200.

Just started on a Proteus CV440

Sure is!

My Proteus CV-440 was a few issues with the wings, a bit of warping that I am having trouble trying to remove.

State of play at the moment (Jan 2017) is that they are still considering...........
