I hope the side door opens or you won't be able to see any of it. Even then it'd be difficult.

You get separate side doors but I think you have to drill and cut out the fuselage halves to add them opened.

Thanks. Where did you get the kit from please? Big H don't even list them.

1/72 Special Hobby CAC CA9 Wirraway.  Probably to be as close to RW as I ever get.

Having seen Tony o'Toole's build over on Britmodeller, it's one I'm now considering.

I've had some interesting "adventures" with that as well

Wingnut Wings 1/32 Sopwith Pup "RFC". A friend asked for my address the other day and I found this on my doorstep today at lunchtime, complete with a very heartwarming letter. I'm afraid I came over all emotional.

I can't comment on accuracy but in terms of model kit engineering it looks pretty good.  I read a review stating that they downsized their 1/48 version and I can believe it.

I've heard comment from somewhere that the windscreen is wrong, but I'm still quite tempted.  Desert scheme?

[zenrat]

Which desert?  Down here that'd be mostly red!

An RAAF special attack force, operating clandestinely from the Gobi desert* perhaps,& hell-bent on punishing the forces of Nippon from behind?

* Or if that's a bit too fanciful, then a what if - where they share the 'Shangri La' airbase with the USAAF & ROC forces..

"Indeed! What those Tojo Johnnies really need to remind them who is boss - is a damn good flogging..
After all, we RAAF type Brylcream boys who attended Scotch College et al - well know there is true satisfaction to be had in that..
& likely those slightly built Asiatic coolies'll soon fold up, under the onslaught of a decent Aussie 1st XV-style buggering..
Have at them, chaps! Tally ho!"
