The model depicts a
Royal Australian Air Force Boeing BBJ 737 VIP aircraft. The conversion was based
on the Heller Boeing 707 for the airframe and the Heller Boeing C135FR for the
engines. Since a number of models are required, for the VIP version and the
Wedgetail AWACS version of the BBJ, the kit conversion components were used as
patterns for a limited run complete resin kit. With careful planning the
conversion, although requiring a fair amount of cut and paste, was quite
straight forward and presented no difficulties.
