The next one of my projects will be the RAAF Boomerang by Special Hobby, a mix of plastic and resin. 🙂

Made a start on the Boomerang, the cockpit is a fair number of pieces. The internal main colour is Vallejo BS Interior Green. 🙂
Welcome along Sergej, hopefully it will go together in a decent fashion! . 👍

Following! I have just added it to my stash, and I also noticed that the cockpit is made by a lot of pieces!!!!!

After quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, I managed to get the cockpit in and the fuselage together. Wings went together ok. 🙂

Looking good Guy! I kinda like the stubby purposeful shape of a Boomerang.

Wings were added to the fuselage. Filler added to several parts but not too much. 🙂
Thanks for your kind comment Patrick, it was definitely a strange shape for its time! 👍

Many thanks for your kind comment Dave. The build was really good except for trying to fit the cockpit into the fuselage which was quite difficult. Definitely recommended. 👍

Excellent build/paint Guy. Much better than the Airfix 1.72 I suspect.

The Airfix kit is from my Yoof' it came out in the mid sixties, built it in the seventies. So you can guess what it was like. 🥸🤘😅🤟🥸

I remember it in the catalogue Mark in my Yoof but I never got one. 🙂

I'm glad you do Stephen, it was a nice kit to make except for fitting the cockpit frame in which was quite a chore. 👍
