Kit 7201 - CAC Wirraway

7201 was the first HIGH PLANES MODELS kit, and was of the famous CAC Wirraway, as used by the RAAF during the Second World War as a reconnaissance aircraft in the Pacific Theatre, and post war as a trainer. This kit was moulded for us by Ventura in New Zealand. It therefore looks a bit different in its layout to our later and current releases, but certainly still exhibits the overall accurate shape, finely recessed panel lines, and attention to details displayed by all HIGH PLANES MODELS. To date there have been two other Wirraway kits, one by the long defunct Beechnut Models ( I kept the kit for all of five minutes it was so good) and another more recent one by MPM (probably the proposed Airmodel one) but this exhibits some serious outline errors and is therefore not in the running. HIGH PLANES MODELS provides markings for the famous A20-103 which shot down a Japanese Zero, and an overall yellow WW2 trainer. Ventura also issued a boxing of this kit with different decals. |
