Australian CAC designed aircraft website

Recommended Posts

I just found this website by accident- isn't that always the way it happens? It has scale drawings, technical description, specs, and construction details for all CAC-designed aircraft. I would think this would be useful to BM'ers planning Aussie modeling projects. I hope this hasn't been posted before- if so, Mike- you can remove it.

It's an interesting site principally about CAC aircraft rather than all Australian aircraft although it does have a fairly complete list of all Australian designed aircraft. Surprisingly, more than a dozen are available in kit form.  It is run by Derek Buckmaster who recently published a very comprehensive book on the CAC Ceres.The Ceres would make a good modelling project....................

It's part of a network of sites looking at Australian aviation

Thanks, Ed. I have edited my original post to better reflect the topic...I was so excited when I found the site, I was too quick to slap a topic title on it and should have proofed it before posting.

I did a fairly rough interpretation with an Airfix Harvard about a decade ago, it was close enough for the former pilot of the real deal whom I gifted it to!

I'd quite like to do it properly in 1/48 with a Wirraway.
