ALF18 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Here is my Favorite...... Not the greatest but my 1 and only GB finish. and here is the 1/144th version I did for CanMilAir Emil Cool in such a small size. That scheme is the GB prize that I'm offering up for this one - in 1/32. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Cool in such a small size. That scheme is the GB prize that I'm offering up for this one - in 1/32.ALF Funny thing no one remembers the unofficial 1991 scheme which is the one I've depicted A/C 188769. The 1992 Official scheme which Leading Edge depicted is the one most remember The officially sanctioned A/C 188764. Both Just really Cool birds. Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had seen both schemes, but somehow I keep getting the two confused, given they look very similar, and the tail numbers are nearly the same. ALF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-Neu- Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hey all I'm somewhat of a lurker on this forum but I'm psyched to contribute in this one GB. I don't have many Canadian aircraft, which is kinda sad given I live here. 1/72 Hasegawa Mustang IV 442 Squadron RCAF (OOB) 1/72 Tamiya Robert Hampton Gray's Corsair 1841 Squadron, Royal Navy. 1/72 MPM Welly III 402 Allouette Squadron RCAF (this was a weekend build... so quality wasn't the best.... that and this aircraft was heavily sooted.)

Nerd Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Alright, I'm seriously thinking of jumping in on this one. Got the Revell P-3 kit + some Eduard photoetch, with plenty of updating planned. My big concern is availability of complete decals that are up to date. My insipration: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Canada---Ai...dd49b37aa69ccc6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Richard, Those aircraft look very nice, I really like the Mustang. I've been wanting to do one of those in 1/48 or 1/32 some day. A late friend of my father's flew with 425 Alouette Squadron during the war, he could have very much flown on tha pericular Wellington. Alright, I'm seriously thinking of jumping in on this one.

My insipration: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Canada---Ai...dd49b37aa69ccc6 Welcome to the GB, Id love to see that Aurora built. Check out www.CanMilAir.com, they do all kinds of custom decals for Canadian MIlitary aircraft, you could have a set done for a specific airferame even. There is also a discount available for GB entrants, send me a PM to find out how. FlightDecs was also supposed to release a set of 1/72 decals for the CP-140. Check them out at www.flightdecs.ca Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 There is also a discount available for GB entrants, send me a PM to find out how. Now you tell me! I just received "shipped" notice on my Argus decals. And by the time I get to doing a 407 Sqn Aurora, the GB'll be over. But no matter - the decals aren't terribly priced anyways! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nerd Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I've sent a few inquiring emails to Flightdecs with no response. Is CanMilAir able to do a full, up to date sheet with all the stencils? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yes they do, 229, 230 and *231 are the ones I might use one day if I ever find a 1/72 Argus. (*most likely) Bill also as sheet 494 which is decals to represent the windows for the Argus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nerd Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Sorry for the confusion, I was inquiring about the Aurora rather than Argus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Oops, Im pretty sure I mentioned it in my pm to you. Did I forget to send it? I don't have a PM from you in my inbox, so... I look forward to getting the decals. I also ordered the window set, since I'm using a vacform kit as a basis. Not much fun. But it /is/ giving me practice on seamwork! Will probably start working on the MAD boom today. I'm sure CanMilAir will have it, but are there any other sources for 1/144 or 1/72 decals for a 407 Sqn lightning-stripe Aurora? The other day I found the 407 Sqn patch I got when I was a Cadet (it has a white lightning-stripe Aurora on it), so I'd like to do one of those eventually. I have a decal set for a lightning-stripe Neptune (Arrow Graphics, 1/72). But I'm rather uncertain what to do. Apart from the Argus (1/144) and a Hungarian MiG-21PF I did as a memorial (1/48), I build in 1/72 - hence why I got the Neptune decals in that scale. But with the Argus underway in 1/144, I was thinking that perhaps I should do all the big Canadian ASW planes (Argus, Aurora, Neptune, Tracker) in 1/144. But... is there a 1/144 Neptune besides the Aeroclub kit? How hard is that to find? Or a Tracker in 1/144? I doubt severely I'll find a Britannia in 1/72 to kitbash... I've seen only a vacform kit that went for 86 quid on ebay... so I dunno what to do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
