CA-5 Wirraway


Recommended Posts

Hello,

my latest effort built as entry to Aussie 39-45 group build on our local forum. It´s old MPM kit from the 90´s with many scratchbuilt and reworked items.

If you are interested, you can see the building progress on this LINK

I guess the size and color of the fuselage letter and the serial may not be 100% correct, but I left it as it was. Oh, forgot to mention it´s 4.sq. RAAF plane of J.Archer/J.Coulston who shot down a Zero fighter - an unique and sole kill of Wirraway during WWII.

Cheers

Libor

You might be interested to know that 4 SQN recently reformed with PC-9 aircraft with a Forward Air Control (FAC) training and army cooperation role.

I forgot to mention I see this aircraft each time I visit a the Australain War Memorial here in Canberra

Thanks for your comments gents! :)

Trojan Thunder: thanks for update! Would be nice to have the PC-9 kit in recent 4.sq marking sitting in the display case next to the Wirraway.

Julien: The colors are mixed from Gunze H paints and the mixing ratios are taken (approx.) from 1/48 Wirraway MPM's instructions.
