Special Hobby CAC CA9 Wirraway
What a delightful kit, and a welcome reissue this is. Fine recessed panel lines, nice thin decals with a decent choice of subjects to choose from and a photo etch fret as well. Like most limited run kits you have to use the parts guide as they aren’t numbered on the sprue. You start with the instrument panels and the etch for them followed by the front seat and radios. I painted the back panels of the instruments white to highlight the clear celluloid details. I painted the etch black and assembled it all together. Next I painted the seat and the base of the radio XF71 and the radios black and picked out the detail, which to be fair isn’t a lot although you can add Airscale decals to bring it more to life.
