JC Wings 1:400 Qantas Boeing 747-400 VH-OJB Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: Qantas Boeing 747-400 VH-OJB "Wunala Dreaming" (JC Wings XX40491)

VH-OJB (MSN 24373, line number 746) was delivered to Qantas on 15 September 1989, making it one of the early-delivery 747-400s in a fleet that would eventually define the airline's long-haul identity. Named "Mount Isa", it flew international routes for over two decades before its final commercial service on 20 September 2011 (flight QF108). The aircraft was then stored at Victorville, California, later transferring to Jet Midwest Group as N954JM in 2014. The "Wunala Dreaming" livery — applied in the 1990s — was created in collaboration with Australian Aboriginal artist Michael Nelson Jagamara. Painted artwork by Jagamara covers the full fuselage, depicting ancestral stories, kangaroos, and totemic figures in the dot-painting style of the Papunya Tula movement.

Livery & Visual Details

The entire fuselage, tail, and engine nacelles are covered in deep red with multicoloured Aboriginal dot-painting motifs: green, blue, yellow, orange and white figures including kangaroos and stylised ancestral forms. The "QANTAS" name appears in white at the forward cabin against the red ground. The white Qantas kangaroo logo is centred on the red vertical fin. Wingtip ends carry small clusters of the same dot-art pattern. Classic 747-400 raked wingtips — no winglets. Four RB211-524G/H-T nacelles in matching red with Aboriginal artwork on the nacelle faces. VH-OJB registration visible at the rear fuselage. Landing gear deployed.

Model Craft & Collectibility

JC Wings XX40491 reproduces the Wunala Dreaming scheme in 1:400 diecast at 17.67 cm length and 16.11 cm wingspan. The model includes the Qantas 747 fifth-engine transport pod position — a detail unique to airlines that ferried spare powerplants under the wing — rendered as a separate accessory piece. The "Wunala Dreaming" livery ran from the mid-1990s until VH-OJB's retirement in 2011, and the original Jagamara artwork was later preserved by the Balarinji design studio that collaborated with Qantas on its Aboriginal livery programme.
