I picked up the Hasegawa Qantas B767-300 and wondered about putting B747 RB211 engines on the B767 pylons. Is there a drawing showing the differences between the pylons? I've seen the one for the other engines. I've looked at the images of the Bra.Z engines and want a little more info. Best wishes, Grant |

Hi Grant, I don't know if you are into 100% accuracy of detail, but a word on the Qantas 767-300 fleet. The aircraft which operate the overseas flights are GE powered 767-338 models. Qantas took 7 RR powered aircraft from BA to increase capacity. These are model 767-336 and the two can be distinguished externally by the large doors forward and aft of the wing on the -336 model whilst the original Qantas -338 have 2 overwing emergency exits. Due to vastly different internal differences between the two models, the -336 is used exclusively on the Australian domestic routes. Ufortunately, although a keen aircraft photographer in my day, I was employed for 38 years by TAA and when they were bought out by Qantas, I took the money and ran, so I don't have any photos of the 767's as they came into play after my departure. Perhaps some of the other chaps here on the site from Australia maybe able to assist in that regard. Boeing Bob. |

Hello Grant, I am sure you had a look at photos on airliners(dot)net, it is such a great source for us airliner modellers: 747-400 RB211 pylon 767-300 RB211 pylon Both pylons are vastly different, they share nothing in common. However, you could probably shave the upper area of the 747 pylon in order to reduce its height and make it conform to the 767 underwing surface, then rebuild its general shape with Evergreen plastic sheet. No easy work, plus I have never found detailed drawings of RB211-524G/H and their pylons. The BraZ resin set could be a solution, if you ever find them coz they are scarce, but you will have to deal with the wrong fan section (narrow-chord blades, too many of them and rounded spinner). Cheers, Steven |

Thank you both, BoeingBob and PMG Offramp. Since I'm working on the Qantas 747-400 with RB211s, when I picked up the Qantas B767-300, I found that Qantas also flew some ex-BA versions, so the thought of doing a lesser known version to match the -400 appealed to me. I thought more about mating the -400 engines with the 767-300 pylons. I guess that I'll use the Bra.Z photo to modify the Hasegawa 767-300 pylons. Thank you for the extra info about the Qantas 767s, BoeingBob. Thanks for the info about the Bra.Z engines, any information is useful, BoeingBob. I have to get back and finish the L1011 and -400 first. Best wishes, Grant |
