First post-war roundel, gone by about 1950 Tony

just ‘Fairey’

first one off the bench for this year is the somewhat Vampire shaped HobbyCraft kit. Used a Eduard seat and CMK wheels. Decals are from IPMS Canada The only changes to the kit was the improvement of the wingtip nav lights, replaced with a chunk of clear sprue ,drilled and a dab of paint inside, filed to shape

For our Canadian modelers, Kinetic just announced a CT-114 Tutor
Snowbird3a replied to Dave Roof's topic in Jet Modeling
Me as well. The HC, with all its warts still builds into a Tutor shaped aircraft, better than its ugly 1/72 scale bastard cousin. I will keep my 3 HobbyCraft Tutors and my 3 Belcher Tutors. One Uncle Ric’s detail set yielded a few home cast copies of some parts, I, surmise that I will be into the Kinetic kit for at least 3 copies. Can’t wait ! 🤓 -

seats from a ESCI F-5 would work just fine Tony -
no, they were mechanically locked, no drooping was possible. Modern restored warbirds have incorporated 'D' model gear parts, so there will be drooping apparent with them. Your model; your rules as always Cheers, Tony

great work !! just to note that the inner gear doors on Allison powered Mustangs were mechanically locked up and did not 'droop' upon shutdown Cheers, Tony

Yes, I see you have asked over on the FB Can Mil Aircraft site too. good luck in your searchings !! -

a bit of reading from Britmodeller; https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235112032-cc-150-polaris-overall-colour-which-hobby-paint-grey/ -
the MANY differences in the two versions negated Airfix including just a canopy or landing gear Tony
-
No one (yet) does a Canadian DHC-1 canopy/windscreen or any conversion . Be aware that the windscreen differed too as well as the bubble canopy. In fact the list of differences between a British built Chippie and a Canadian built example is quite extensive. Tony ps. Barney Dunlevy made his own canopy when he built a Aeroclub Chipmunk. I started to fashion a vac one, then gave up.

putting this in the 'archived topics' forum probably won't get much reaction Cheers, Tony
-
That’s it !! I’m getting my forums all mixed up, silly me. Model On !! Tony
-
I would have thought the 'Ready For Inspection' forum is the more applicable spot for a completed build. Tony

easy enough to convert this Mk4 kit to a Mk5, decals are from IPMS Canada for a 441 Sqn machine. It is almost OOB, with a bit of improvement in the cockpit/rear canopy area and a Legend seat added;
-
FS 35237 does have a blue cast, it is in the blue range of the FS numbers, that's the '5' in 35237 Tony
-
the 'K' had the original short chord wing but the final production from FIAT were equipped with the longer span '-40' wing
