Comments

Derek Buckmaster
Special Hobby have released a new decal version of their CA-9 Wirraway molding, but carried over several mistakes in the kit and instructions.
Some quick corrections:
a) Parts B14 should be deleted (on the real aircraft, the retract cylinders are inside the wing).
b) All references to paint colour "C364 Aircraft Gray Green" should be changed to "H8/C8 Silver", as Wirraways did not have interior green paint anywhere in the cockpit, it was entirely silver.
Also, note that A20-637 was a CA-16 Wirraway, not a CA-9 as described in the colouring notes.
