1/48 CAC Ca-9 Wirraway

August 26, 2018 · in Aviation · · 11 · 2.5K

Hello all. Been a long time away from the production line, but I'm back at last.

Just completed. My Ca-9 from No.7 flight training school 1943. My pitop tube broke off and was never seen again... I will make a new one. I used Montex masks and painted the markings. Nice to try that instead of decals. Incidentally, Wirraway is Aboriginal for Challenge/Challenger.

  1. Turned out pretty well...other than the wingtips and cowling, it sorta puts me in mind of a T-6. I like it.

  2. Nice Wirraway! Basic design is of a BC-1,early version of the T-6.

  3. Nice - I like these unusual subjects! Looks good.

  4. Good to have you back at it Paul. You don't see many of these built !

    Yours look good...

  5. A home boy. Good on ya mate.
    It's been a while since I've seen one of these.
    It looks great, with the clean colour scheme.

  6. Nicely done Paul.

  7. Looks outstanding, Paul! Definitely one from the "Less Common" group.

    Bravo!
