Glenn
Not at this show...just aussie stuff. But there was an E-7A Wedgetail and F-18A's and F-18F's, C-17, and loads of other stuff more photos to come took around 400+ pics!

B

John Thomas
Very cool

Jamie Anderson
great pics glenn is that a real F-35 and does anyone know if a E-7A wedgetail is available in 1:72 scale

Holger Kranich
Wonderful images! Must have been a great day for an aviation ethusiast!😄

Wim van der Luijt
thanks for sharing...great pics!

Jamie the F-35 is a 1/1 scale plastic display model with lots of working electronics in it just under the main wheels is a petrol generator! It was flown into the airshow in the RAAF C-17. The first RAAF F-35 are being built now. Welsh models do a E-7 Wedgetail 1/72 scale with RAAF markings vac-form fuselarge everything else wings, engines etc is done in resin. Very nice kit i have one along with the P-8 and other B-737 types.

Glenn
The 1/72 scale E-7 and B-737 kits cost around $150-$200 each! There is also a 1/144 scale conversion from Hawkeye models for the E-7 use a Academy B-737 kit.

Jamie Anderson
thanks for the info glenn will wait and see if someone makes an injection kit of the wedgetail in1:72 scale

Glenn
O.K. good luck with that! There is an early generation B737 and a T-43 from Big Plane Kits fully injection moulded (Good kits) or the Aurora/Monogram B737 from the mid 60's but i'd stay away from that it's very old and basic! REVELL TAKE NOTE! Please scale up your airliner range from 1/144 to 1/72!!!! They would sell very well 🙂

Jamie Anderson
I agree glen I would love to personally see proper injection molded 1:72 scale of a c-5 galaxy and c-17 would buy those in an instant

Glenn
TRUE DAT! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Jamie Anderson
glad you agree glenn we should start a modelling campaign to get these big kits made

Ray Seppala
@Jamie, I think you will be waiting a LONG time for an injected Wedgetail kit. Unless BPK do a NG 737 in the future and then use the parts from the current Wedgetail kit.

Ray Seppala
Oh, and thanks for sharing the pictures Glenn. nice shots!

Glenn
Hi Michael, Lucky the cloud stayed a bright white color and didn't get dark i overexposed these downsized uploads a bit to keep them light the original shots look much clearer these look fuzzy... There's more to come in part 2!!! 🙂 when i downsize them.... 🙁

I am really impressed with you pics Glen. I remember going to the Bi-Centennial air show at Richmond in 86, but there were no digital cameras around then and all I had was Kodak slide film and, because it was so expensive, I was severely restricted in how much I could photograph. and I was extremely disappointed that the A-10 didn't show like they said it would. Our "Tiger" looks quite lethal !!! nice journey, thanks mate 🙂

John
I know this is an old thread, but wow...what a collection of aircraft!

Glenn
Thanks John. That's the last airshow I've been too! I'm hoping later this year i can get to the Avalon airshow to celebrate the 100 years of the RAAF. If there's no lockdown? Who knows? Cheers!
