Nah....not for what you get mate, paid a little less for mine but this kit is worth every penny, I think!

From " Fighter Aircraft" Francis Crosby, Imperial War Museum Duxford
The Boomerang was born of a desparation and the sudden need in December 1941 to defend Australia from the Japanese. The aircraft was based on Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation's earlier Wirraway which was in turn developed from the North American NA-16 trainier. The Wirraway's wing, undercarriage and tail were mated to a new fuselage and the resulting Boomerang prototype was produced in only three months. The Twin Wasp engine was considered too low powered for fighters elesewhwere but the Boomerang design team used it to power their aircraft, which entered service in October 1942. This well armed, tough and manoeuvrable aircraft first flew into action in April 1943 and proved to be an adversary to be reckoned with. As other fighter types became available the Boomerang was quickly replaced, having served in New Guinea and defended western and northern Australia in the country's time of need.

I went on a 1/144 scale binge over the last few weeks.
This came as a package with the EA-6B.

Yeah - to be able to see 1/48th scale would be a bonus for me !!
Nice stuff Dirk - quite fancy doing a Hawkeye in 1/48th scale, but the kit is a bit pricey.
