Printed 1/72 drawings of the CAC C-6 Wackett trainer as my contribution to the RAAF 100^th Anniversary cook up. Details will be posted here with milestones posted to the cook up.

Lou

Wikipedia lists the Warner Scarab 175hp as the powerplant for the Wackett. Internet search can't find any listing for a 175hp Scarab. Can anyone help me out?

Lou

Google "wackett trainer drawings"  images should pick drawings from dbdesignbureau . Has an engine them.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Gordon

The design bureau site says Warner Scarab 165D. http://dbdesignbureau.buckmasterfamily.id.au/drawings_cac_wackett.htm

Wikipedia may have been wrong, which has been known to happen.

The Wackett has begun with major component blocks cut.

Lou

The Wackett is quite small and relatively easy to build.

Lou

Cool little plane. Might have to carve one for myself one of these days...

In the paint shop for primer. Quite small even when compared to the 1/144 Stratoliner. (See Boeing 307 build)

Lou

Looking great Lou.

Gordon

Thank you Gordon.

Lou

Undercarriage attached and ready for the paint booth.

CAC Wackett is complete.

Lou

A simple aircraft quite small in comparison with other trainers of the day.

Lou

Nice little model

Thank you Dave.
