Akemi's Boomerang Ready to DL

Thanks for the update, I was beginning to wonder if he was another fine aircraft creator lost to the CFS2 cause. Great to see him back and with such a gorgeously chunky beast!

I love the Boomerang, I got a Czech 1/48 scale plastic kit round here somewhere. There is a resin kit out there somewhere in 1/32 or 1/24, over 100 bucks.

This site has some excellent planes for Jap fetishists as I. He has the Jake, Muto's GEORGE and Akamatsu's RAIDEN, both mentioned by Sakai in his book.

Banzai!

Wahoo! That news made my day!

I project a release date of March to April 2010.

PS. Take your time (but not too much time :wiggle: ) Akemi and make it shine like all the rest of your works!
 
I'm really glad to see someone doing a Boomerang. I have a real soft spot for this super little aircraft. Sadly it never shot down any enemy aircraft, but in the hands of 4 and 5 Squadrons it performed sterling service in the ground recon role over both New Guinea and Bougainville.

I hope Akemi changes the Squadron codes from MH (83 Squadron) to either QE (4 Sq) or BF (5 Sq). 83 Squadron only used the Boomerang from April to September '43 being based on Horn Island and flying patrols over the Meruke area in New Guinea. It saw almost no action in that period.
 
I'm pretty sure I have a Boomerang tucked away - not sure who did it originally - I will have a look through my files and see if I can dig it out.
 
Found them - freeware by Techpower, so will upload for your enjoyment - there are a couple of versions. I was fortunate enough to see a Boomerang fly at the Jamestown airshow here in Australia just recently - it is a beautiful aircraft with a lovely engine note :icon_lol:
 
Hi all, I have requested a password so I can upload the Booomerangs, but have had no reply as yet. As soon as I do, I will upload them.
 
..............the boomer could be flown so slowly and stabily that it could (and was) used to eliminate pesky jap snipers
.......... directed by radio slowly over the treetops
and suddenly 2x20 mm HISPANO cannon and four 303 (7.7 mm) machine guns would cut off the tops of the trees

our main "active" aussi flight museum"TEMORA"
(celtic name meaning "an eminence commanding a wide view")

(im gonna move to TEMORA in my latter days just to hear the roar of MERLINS from the 2 flying SPITS that live there-- mk8 mk16):ernae:

Yep, the Temora Boomerang is a beauty. And the engine sound on fly-by is raw! Luv it. :)
