Royal Australian Air Force 100th Anniversary Cook Up

[lastvautour]

Australia celebrates its air force's 100 anniversary. Gordon and I have thrown in to make a cook up involving aircraft flown by the RAAF during its first 100 years. I hope others will join in.

I have temporarily halted the Wirraway.

Nice paint scheme. Looking forward to this one.

Lou

I will mainly use the dbdesign drawings for the Wirraway in conjunction with others I have.

Also looking at the Vought Kingfiisher and Westland Wapiti. Just to be different.

Cheers

The WWII trainer CAC Wackett was rolled out 1 May 2021. A nice little project that took approx. 10 hours to make excluding drying time. The lines of the Wackett are simple and easily reproduced in any scale. A very enjoyable and satisfying build.

[Boomerang]

 Well done Lou. Looks great.

Gordon

Very nice looking mustang. I like the details of the drop tanks with the seam and filler gauges. Well done!

I agree with Fraser on the details. An excellent contribution to the 100th anniversary build.
