Large original Qantas 747 model VH-EBA

[deanmac]

Hi All,

I have an original model of the 1st Qatas 747-100 (VH-EBA) from 60's or the 70's. It's just over 2m long and I assume it was from a travel agency. I purchased it at a market over 20 years ago but I have no idea of the provinence of it beyong that.

It only has 1 wing and both the wing and the fusilage (crack can be just seen running under the 4th set of doors) require some repair work but it's still a beautiful model.

Besides thinking it make be of interest to this group and people may know some of where these were used, I am thinking of parting with it to make up a but of a cash shortfall we have at the moment.

If anyone has any ideas on the value or where it would be best to sell it, I would approeciate it.

Thanks,
Dean.

Welcome to AFF @deanmac .

It might be useful to contact the Qantas Founders Museum in Longreach - they may have interest for their own collection or could refer to other interested parties.

There’s a forum for this! (of course!) 1/50 DC 10 Help! - DA.C

I’ve just posted a random link with a similar question to yours, looking for information on a BA DC-10, also ex travel agency.

That forum will help advise how you might value it, and bring it to market.
