Thanks for asking NFN. I really can't get started on this till after Christmas - too much going on at the moment. I need big chunks of time - it's just too frustrating to work on a project for an hour or two, then have to put it away for a week.

 

[Night Fighter Nut]

I know how you feel.

Good info guys. Is that a genuine Wirraway in the pic, or a Harvard/Texan done up as one? If the latter, check the side steps John; I know they are fitted on the Harvard/Texan/T6, but could only see one on the plan drawing.

Nice choice John but I was wondering what is Wirraway?it looks like a T6 or Harvard.So are they the same frames with mods for combat service?Cheers

Built under licence by CAC in Australia, based on the T6/Harvard, but to 'local' requirements.

The Wirraway was a licenced built and modified version of the NA-16. The T-6 was also developed from the NA-16 hence the similarities.

The trees of knowledge we have here, bl@ody fantastic.

T-6 and Harvard, cowling guns?????? Yes? No?
Don't remember seeing any on the restored T-6 at the Livermore A/P.

Hey guys, late mail, "Wirraway" is the Aboriginal word for Challenge.

Was wondering whether any progress was being made on this build. I have one in the "to do" pile but it'll be YEARS before I get to it. Don't want to waste the gorgeous RedRoo update kit on my currently crappy modelling capabilities - need some more completed kits under my belt before I take a run at my Wirraway.
