<DIV>Sure is Mark. Thanks to the great help from Mike, the Qantas B747 300 will once again return to her former glory! </DIV>

<DIV>I really have a soft spot for these Wooster type 1:250 scale models! Why? Because when i started collecting, these were the main models in the larger scale, not 1:200! When i would go to CAMau with my mother, all these wooster PPC stylemodels would be displayed all over the joint! I loved them! </DIV>
<DIV>I still have my Ansett Australia B747 300 'Sydney 2000', Alitalia Boeing 747 200, Ansett B767 200 all in 1:250! Odd but nice scale. Sorry about the little trip down memory lane. </DIV>

Hey John always good to go down memory lane. It is always interesting to hear how people started or what we all collected in the past.

well done.You both did a great job, awesome

[Aviation Delight]

Great job , John looks like a brand new model.

[ALITALIA_747]

Thanks for the comments Men. Mike will have to take all the credit for this happening! Without his magical work, it just would not have happened! The decals were a pleasure to work with and very easy to apply.

wow John, awesome outcome mate. Job well done to and Mike.

Despite the 12,000 mile gap I think all worked out well considering the model was never in my hands and to a scale I've not tried before.<div>Nice work John. Hope there where a couple of decals spare for Dave.</div>

Oh that looks so awesome now!!!

<DIV>Mike, the spare decals will be making the short hop to Dave's house today. I am sure he will love them also. </DIV>

G'day John and Mike decals arrived safe and sound now it's getting some time to strip the fuselage. I'll post some pictures up as soon as I start.

[ALITALIA_747]

Glad they arrived safely Dave! Enjoy the re build.
