Special Hobby 1/48 CAC CA-19 Boomerang 'Jungle Scouts' # 48241
CAC CA-19 Boomerang 'Jungle Scouts' 1/48
The Boomerang was the only indigenous-built Australian fighter aeroplane to saw service during the Second World War. Boomerangs defended Australia and were also deployed to New Guinea and other Pacific islands. The last fighter-recce version, designated CA-19, carried a photo camera behind the cockpit and mainly flew recon missions or marked potential targets for larger fighter bombers.
The instruction sheet and decals enable the modeller to choose one of three green-overall machines two of which had their tail sections painted in white. All three of them carry some sort of nose art. The kit set itself comes on four grey styrene sprues, one with clear parts, a set of resin parts and a fret of etches.
- a model of the iconic WW2 Australian-built figher
- decals with three RAAF options, all with nose arts
