Hi Folk’s,
This little gem in 48 scale is of the CA 12 Boomerang which is another of the RAAF Officer Training School’s model’s, it is not a plastic kit, it is Resin and White Metal, with a vac formed canopy. It is not a model that I built, but one of my co founders [who also built their Meteor Model, which is not the Classic Airframes kit, it is deplicted as ‘Halestorm’]. The builder of this Boomerang model is curently doing a 48 scale Sunderland III, to which I’ve been making some of the resin parts for. [There is an injection moulded 48 scale Sunderland due for release later this year from FM models in France].
The information given on this particular project was that of the pilot’s name a F.O. Archer, and a couple of photo’s, the decals for this were scrounged from aftermarket sheets and custom made.
It has been finished in the RAAF coulours of Earth Brown / Foliage Green over RAAF Sky Blue.
The colour photo is a rare WW II shot taken at the back of the Commonwealth Aircrfat Corporation Factory, giving great coulour detail of the aircraft of the time.
Rob.
