(2 URLs) BS> (URL) Flickr> I couldn't build the CAC Wirraway out of my bricks so I decided to build its smaller and meaner cousin, the CAC Boomerang. It's somewhere between 1:32 and 1:35 scale which is bigger than I usually build but I think getting (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

(...) Hi Klaus, Thanks. I'm not sure if the wings would stay up but triple plate hinges are pretty strong so they might and if not I would just add more. The other weak part could be the stud rotation in the inner wing using technic bricks with (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Hi Tim, very nice model indeed! I really like the way you build the canopy. I you build this model for real, would the wings stay up like that or did you build a support underneath? take care Klaus (18 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Hi Matthias, yes, this model is in the same scale as my other aircraft models, roughly 1:40 Minifig scale. I strengthened the wings only with a few rows of Technic bricks. For the rest I used simple plates. At the moment I do not have time to (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Klaus, WOW! This is quite amazing! I can't say much but echo everyone else sentiments, you've pulled off some very challenging angles and shapes here, and the result is terrific! Always interesting to see WWII hardware I hadn't seen before. Does the (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

This model must be rather heavy - have you strengthened the wings internally in some (...) (18 years ago, 13-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

Paul, Steering like this is easy enough if you have space under the vehicle. Check out the pix showing the underside of my Wild Boar APC, in this case I was even able to incorporate suspension, but this system wouldn't work with just the four wheels (...)

How did you achieve it, and keep the surface so uniform and tight near the joints? Now, all you troops need are (...) (18 years ago, 12-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

It's amazing to consider that it could even fly. Thanks, (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)

With the nose stud pattern angled up at about 25 degrees or so I was surprised to see how well you tied this back in (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.military)
