Indeed,the Boomerang remembers a lot the F2A.Is it a licensed production that got some modifications?

And the G.55 was regarded as the best italian fighter from WWII.I guess even germans were impressed with it.
On a comparative list,the G.55 had an excellent performance,Re-2005 had good and MC-205 was average.

No its derived from the CAC Wirraway which was a license built variant of North American's NA-16/18 trainer. I suppose in a way its a sister aircraft of the T-6 Texan

I have seen one closeup in real life, hangered in Toowoomba QLD.

Anyway in game terms ... its performance is close enough to the Buffalo that a Buffalo skin hack can substitute fine for the CAC Boomerang.

Long term if some enthusiastic fellow Aussie built one it would be a nice Pacific theater add on (and I may even be able to get some photos of the Toowoomba one) but its not really an aircraft for TD to make a big priority.
