Quote from: Wardukw on Yesterday at 10:10:41 PMI've always had an idea of stretching a Boomerang..slimming it out so to speck.
Last time I looked 48th scale Boomerangs were few and far between.
Hell I'm having enough fun trying to find a 1/16th scale Ford big block V8   

A stretched Boomerang is a Wirraway isn't it?

AMT did a 1/16 '55 (or '57) Thunderbird if that helps.

I have no idea Fred mate if it's a Wirraway ..fact I've no idea what a Wirraway looks like 😳 😅

Is that a complete car or just the engine ??
If it's a 55 or 57 either engine might be to small..if I remember right it's only like a 312 cid engine and the Cobra needs a 427 or bigger 🤔

Complete car.  I trashed one as a kid.  Moulded in maroon and not too much detail IIRC.  Almost like they just scaled up a 1/25 kit.

There was a 55 and a 57.  57 was repopped most recently.  While it might not be a 427 it would at least be a start on which to work your magic.

CAC Wirraway;



The CAC Wirraway was a CAC-licenced development of the North American NA-16 (think T-6 Texan)



Some elements of the Wirraway were used in designing the Boomerang, they were supposed to be parts-interchangeable but the design process killed that off, however the lineage is definitely visible.

Once the glue bombed nephew sourced Boomerang has given its legs up to the victim of the Great Shelf Drop of '24 there will be a pile of parts left in a ziplock bag which will be too tempting to ignore.  It'll be missing undercarriage and canopy and the prop is broken but I have an idea in my head...
