Finally, after 4 years of having the kits sitting in the stash, I'm going to be trying to bash a
Boomerang & a Fw.190 into (a version of)
apophenia's Sea Wallaby.

Blood Sacrifice to the Modelling Gods has been made (I stabbed myself in the hand 5 minutes into this, removing an extraction pin stub from inside the wing of the SH
Boomerang, about 1cm wide by 1.5cm deep ... This should suffice to gain their blessings ... Maybe.) & the build has commenced.
You'd think after 4 years I'd have some sort of plan, but I don't. I haven't had the parts off the sprues to face up to each other until last night, so I'm making it up as I go along. The plane is going to be slightly larger than the profile & be fitted with an Aries R-2800 radial. The centre section of the wings & cockpit are going to be pretty-much all Boomerang, with the outer wings being Fw,190 & the nose & rear fuselage being a blend of the two.
Hopefully it works &, hopefully, I'll get it finished in time.
Where I'm at right now:
= Note the Sacrificial Hobby Knife just below the Fw.190 fuselage.
