Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Can I guess the price range would be around AUD $500 plus?....

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Qantas F1, yes, your correct.

Worth every penny.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

I wonder if they make the model in their new shop at Arncliff (may be too small) or they have another workshop in Sydney.....Would like to see the progress of this model....

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Looking forward to seeing the finished model. :envy:

Did you consider the Grapideco version (nearly half the price)?

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Wow!

This model is really starting to look great.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

That is looking like an amazing product! Really tempted to get an All Blacks 777 done by them now!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

It looks a real stunner, Looking forward to seeing the completed model!:)

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Looks BEAUTIFULLY DONE !!!!!!!!!!!Amazing craftsmanship !!!!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Truss20, I can't recommend them enough! Why pay the same for a pacmin? I am thinking the 747-8 in sunrise livery next

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Mmmmhhh.....Sunriae scheme would be awesome!!!they got the 747 shape right anyway....and it seems they can provide when it comes to paint/artwork....how much are these again?!
Shipping to Portugal would be murder though....:(

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Wonderful photos.

Are the photos in Sydney or is the model made in Asia and if so where? (Philippines?).

Is it resin? And do you know if it's poured resin (like Atlantic models) or injection moulded (like PacMin)? :)

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

The model is made in Sydney.

All details here Sydney Aviation Shop - Home

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

THAT would be a seriously cool 1:100 model to have!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

I have a SQ A345 in 1:100 made by Sydney Aviation Shop. I would definitely recommend them.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Thanks for the compliment! :)
Maybe you should post a seperate thread for the SQ model as that was one of my favourites! :)

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors

That's a great question! Is this a solid resin, fiberglass or wood carved model? If it's a resin base is this a cast formed mold, or an injected mold? Let us know the detials as it's not stated in the website?

Thanks

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

That kind of cash I would go for A Singapore Airlines "Tropical " 744.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

it's hand carved mahogany, as all their models are I think. I have an ANA 787 mahogany model I got from ARD. it was just £180 net. you cannot tell its mahogany just looking t it. a pacmin one would be over £1000.00!!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Our models are all made of wood as mentioned by robertjon5.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

And you're selling that one to me, one day, right RobertJ ?!;)

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

I'd love to see some photos of this!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

And to think, I handled it before him:D A very nicely done model, like my Air India one, worth every penny.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Why pay the price for a PacMin? One reason is PacMin is the approved model builder for Boeing as their models are direct off the CAD designs from Boeing, no guess work there. Second reason, injected resin is expensive as a solid mold has to be built which is consistent to every model made from this mold as there's no deterioration whatsoever as you can make a lot of models from this mold and time and time as it will be the same form. Injected resin then is pumped into the mold which forces out any air that is in the resin to make it solid and dense as like somewhat like forging steel. The PacMin decals are considered the best in the industry too. That's why you we pay the price of having a PacMin, for the quality, workmanship & pride having this product.


Not to offend anyone but the quality of PacMin does speak for itself. The whole package paint, decals, look at the fan blades in the lower photos.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

I have several pacmins, including a house 787, but the models produced by SAS blows it out of the water.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Well she is completed and will be on her way to me soon.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Beautiful! I bet you're going to be thrilled to bits when you finally get to handle it.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

MSR777, I sure will be!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Great detail! Bet your one happy camper:)

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Excellent job!

First 747 in 1/100 with gear, right?!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

WOW!! That is stunning!! Well done Sydney Aviation Shop!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

Would someone be kind enough to tell me what model production company is SAS. I've only had Pacmins, so any other options out there that are on the same level, I'm all ears.

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

I'm also looking for an ANA 787 livery in 1:100 scale. Too far and way too much money to travel to the Festa ANA shop at Haneda Airport in Japan to get one!

Re: 1:100 Qantas 747 in F1 colors
 

pacmin 1/100 for sale here in Sweden!! would love this myself!!
