Haven't given up rigging the O/400, just need some new glue and material.  So today finished the 3d printed CAC Boomerang.

Wow that tiny Boomerang is very well done!

You've captured the essence of that aircraft perfectly and in such a small scale that's quite a feat!

You've got a real talent for 1/144 which isn't an easy scale to work in, especially for single-engine aircraft!

Once again you've finished up quite a little gem. That racing scheme looks great!

That was painful, but the 1/144 O/400 is rigged (as much as I'm doing anyhow) and as far as I'm concerned finished. And a size comparison shot with my Lancaster

Beautiful job of rigging; I doubt I could do near as well in 1/72 or even 1/48.

I've got a real soft-spot for small scale aircraft and few build them as well as you!

I especially like that little red Dr.1!

Great stuff!

Whoa so tiny !

Yet looks so good.  Do you have good eyes or a very good magnifier ?

I find 1/72 scale serials are my limit these days and that's with x1.5 magnifiers on my glasses !

The rigging on the O/400 is also impressive

Holy cow given how small a Sopwith Camel is in 1/72, to build it in 1/144 you must've used the electron micro-visor!

You even did the rigging which warmed the cockles of my black biplane heart.  :-*

One of your most amazing modeling feats yet, Cam! Three cheers!

Hip! Hip! Huzzah!!!

Yesterday's time at the bench didn't got plan, instead of what I panned to work on I worked on a couple of 1/144 aircraft.  Finished this one today.
F-toys Japanese  Iroquois repainted as a RAAF version.  Some markings missing as I have nothing suitable in the spares folder.

Wow 1/144 you say? I'd have sworn at least 1/72!

Great use of the ol' eagle eye, Cam!

Another gem!
