Brilliant Boomer

I've recently been asked to build the new CAC 12 Boomerang from Special Hobby. Hmmm - doesn't Special Hobby have a reputation for turning out limited run kits with thick sprues and banana-shaped parts? A good poke round in the box soon put me straight. Beautifully moulded parts, finely engraved panel lines, superbly cast resin engine, photo-etched parts including seat belts and cockpit levers, and a crystal clear IM canopy.


There's a colour painting guide showing four RAAF aircraft and a complete instruction leaflet with colour refs in Gunze Sangyo. So the sprues are a little thick, but you won't be looking at those.

I'll be starting work on this little gem in the next few days. Photos will be appearing here soon.
