Thanks Lyall for your comments, the SPS49 is the creation of one of our club members here in Australia Task Force 72. Gunter has made these all out of styrene so they are nice and light and so far he has made them in 1/72 and 1/100 scales for some members, He does a fantastic job! It's one of those items I need to try my hand at one of these days. ![]() |

Haha I agree Canberra is such a beautiful build she needs to be finished ![]() I guess I'm the same with Brisbane as your Sydney. I'm just going to finish to obvious items that need to be done like finish the railings and the landing lights and I think that's about it really, but will change what needs to be done once Hobart is atleast finished and launched. I'm not allowed to start anything else until Brisbane is presentable - SWMOB standing orders ![]() |

That's the plan at least. The car I use to take the boat to the lake is fine for everyday use but not too sure how it would go crossing the Nullabor. I'd take my falcon but Brisbane doesn't fit anymore! Haha still time to sort something out as it would be great to meet some of the guys from over east and like you said have the three AWD's together for the first time. |

My suggestion to Rob awhiles back was for the guys that are coming over to pool your resources and hire a LWB or SLWB (super long wheelbase.....make sure its a turbo diesel)Hiace or Transit for transporting any models you are bringing and a second vehicle for people (picked from who's is most reliable/best range/efficiency/comfort). The other way to do it is to jump on the Indian Pacific for the Perth to Adelaide leg with car (its cheaper Perth/Adelaide than Adelaide/Perth) and drive back in convoy... Cheers Bruce PS I would also suggest making up some transport boxes to prevent damage on the long trip. |

Blimey Scott, she is looking stunning, really coming along nicely, love the the way you are building all the rails. Im wondering, are these posts in real time with your build as she is coming along so fast, or do you just not sleep ![]() |

Dave I started Canberra a few years ago but I had never finished her, I've posted photos of her so people could see her come together as well as the rest of her build. So no I'm not fast just jump from project to project. ![]() |

I look at this and I can hear the fans and blowers, feel the wind and the movement. This stunning build brings back a lot of memories, some good some not so. Well done Scott, I can't wait to see her finished. Will you be posting a video of her in the water when finished for those of us who cannot get a long to see her live? |
