Working on the last MPM and Xtrakit models gave me the courage to tackle the Boomerang kit which has been in the stash for a while. Made by Tasman, from New Zealand (one for Francis there), it's a multimedia kit of thin, almost see-through, plastic with white metal parts for the engine, propeller, cannons and various other parts. On top of this you have to do some scatch building and thinning. Decals are for just the one aircraft and luckily there are two vacform canopies. The instructions don't follow the norm as they are written notes on the back of the sheet, which gives a history of the aircraft and it's use, and refer you to the photos enclosed for part placement as well. The black lines on the plastic parts are to illustrate some of the pour lines you have to remove.

That should keep you busy Chris. Another different subject.

This will be interesting......
You don't half like the more challenging types of models. Hats off to you Sir!

I bought this kit as the Airfix one has various problems but it could be a case of 'Out of the frying pan and into the fire',lol!!! That aside even though it's a kit that can't be rushed I'm enjoying working on it. After priming parts have been painted as required. The engine has been drilled to take the propeller boss, the shaft of which had to be thinned. A resin block has been mounted in the nose onto which the engine will be mounted.

Interesting work.

Plenty of work there.
