Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Airport Crash Tender


Recommended Posts

With my Halifax almost done bar a flat coat and with 2 more weeks in the GB I thought I would have a go at something that stays on the ground.

 

Let's see how I go with this one, 1/72 scale to keep it simple and small.

Decals are from a South Australian producer, DekLs who has included every RAAF tender in the sheet. I just need to decide which base's tender to build.

Hi Ray,

 

Nice :thumbsup:

The Unsung Hero's/Heroines of Defense Force Bases, especially those that

fly fixed wing/non fixed wing aircraft.

We had at Whenuapai a "Crash Gate", which stayed the same year after year as  we drove by,

then one day it was broken - sent chills down ones spine to see it like that.

 

Look forward to your build :D

 

Regards

 

Alan

How about RAAF Garbutt Ray?  

 

Graeme had one of these and the decals to model one at Townsville but sadly never got to do it (it was on his bench though and is now with one of his Grandsons). 

 

Be a nice tribute.

What, no Edinburgh?  Maybe they don’t use this type of fire engine there?

 

which reminds me, saw an Orion fly low over the inner southern suburbs this morning, haven’t seen one for quite a while.

I have only managed to find pictures of these at Richmond, Williamtown, Amberly and Tindal so far. That is not to say they aren't at Edinburgh or Pearce.

 

When decalling time comes I will decide on the base.

'framework'  and other greebles added as well as a dump pipe that I drilled out.
