Hi Michael
Wayne's answered that one over on your build thread, but the book is called "The CAC Boomerang" by Richard A. Franks and published by Valiant Wings Publishing. Available direct from the publisher.
Okay, about time to start - don't you think?
Pic 1
Here I added the masks to the canopy. I used Montex masks, which are a vinyl type, rather than Kabuki tape masks. The fit is less than ideal, and not as good as I would usually expect from Eduard. The one advantage though, is that masks are supplied for both the interior and exterior of the clear parts.

Apart from the resin supplied, Special Hobby also provide this nice fret of photo-etch.

This is the Special Hobby parts diagram/ instructions showing the parts for the first sub assembly.
Pic 4
This is the section of the pilots manual that deals with the same area and describes each part.
Pic 5
Parts needed for the first sub-assembly are removed and ready for assembly
Pic 6
This is the side panel. I made a couple of mods to add a circular indent to represent the Hydraulic Pressure guage and carved three slots for the Flap and landing gear indicators. That's items 53,54 and 55 on the pic 4.
Pic 7
Assembly completed, with the exclusion of photo etch part pp20, which appears to be a duplication of the Oil Cooler and Shutter control lever (parts D3 D4), and cutting part pp21 in half as this appears to duplicate the Hydraulic Hand Pump Lever (Parts D2).
I'll put this assembly aside, ready for painting, and move on the next sequence.
Cheers
Peter
