Thanks to the use of components available in Australia, the design—capable of facing enemy aircraft—was developed just 16 weeks after the project began. Despite having limited range and speed, the Boomerang was recognized for its excellent low-altitude performance and durability in harsh conditions. It was used mainly as a close support aircraft and for target marking for American Corsairs—hence the nickname \"Smoky Joe\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents of the kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly detailed plastic parts, decals, assembly instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtras:\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit does not include any metal parts or resin extras – pure plastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit – a typical Airfix model set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommendations and assembly difficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modellers interested in Australian aviation and unique World War II designs.
