Which blue?

@Graeme it was Ronin who did the 1/72 set for the KheeKha C180. Can't be found for love nor money, unfortunately - they would've been ideal. On the other hand, practice (at making my own) makes perfect....or near enough. I've already traced the Sunbird logo from the Aztec drawing...unfortunately, it's not quite the same as what I've seen in photos. If you could get a good close-up photo in your travels, that would be awesome! Also the Royal Mail logo, and the Kangaroo (if you don't mind!)

OK, back from the road trip.
I got between Hughenden and Winton, about 650kms into the journey when I had that feeling I forgotten something
effing camera, I realised
Oh well I will see what I can get in Winton
Well I did fortunately manage to find some fuel only, and that was a touch and go thing, so on to Longreach, saw a Chemist shop with a sign saying it was a Camera Store, went in couldn't see anything at all, and must have been peak hour as quite busy, so walked out and had a look around and over the road was an Electronics store, so went in and asked, nope he said the only one likely to have anything was the Chemist.
So back over the road, and waited until I could get served, the Lady showed me their extensive collection of Cameras which were behind an advertising board, so no wonder I didn't see them, so, the choices were a Nikon Coolpix in Blue or White, and they were the entire stock range, probably should have been glad there was anything at all, so $300 including a 16gb memory card for $18 I was set up for the rest of the journey.
So on Friday as I approached Brisbane, I went to the QAM, and spent a couple of hours getting some photos, including the elusive Aztec.
Now it had been outside for a lot of years before they bought in inside, so the paintwork was bit faded and these are the best I could get
Can only hope they can help

Couldn't find anyone who knew about painting it though.

Thanks for the lovely photos of the Aztec. I have the old Aurora kit around here somewhere and I hope I might be able to get these pictures and that kit together at some time in the future.
