Emvar Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Both 1/144th scale and 1/72nd scales I know several airforces used these birds. Canadian RCAF Norway German Aussie USCG Malaysian Would you consider limited runs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 1/72 Please! 😄 There is also the Revell 1/144 CL604 kit around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Looks interesting. I will take a look at what markings the kit comes with, and decide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotthldr Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It’s Denmark that flew the CL600 not Norway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 U.S. Coast Guard has one - just one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) If anyone feels like doing a little scratch building, the South Korean Coast Guard has a couple attractive schemes for their Challenger. The Czech Republic also flies the Challenger. Edited February 20, 2019 by Kingoalie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it is still flying and I wonder why they only went with one? Servicing must be a pain if only one in the fleet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I would imagine servicing is contracted out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is like 419 Sqn up here in Canada. They fly the Hawks for training and when we first got them the servicing was all done, on the base, by Bombardier techs. It was strange to see ground crews in regular street clothes on the flight line. Now I believe it is being done by another company subcontracting to the RCAF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I have finished the base profiles and will put something together for this kit in the next couple of weeks - stay tuned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Nice! Can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 This is great, you could almost take up one sheet with Canadian stuff!!! The 600 srs alone came in the F-18 grey scheme, the newer overall grey (36170???), white 'family' model scheme with and without the racing stripe!!! They carried markings for 414 Sqn, 434 Sqn, 412 Sqn & AETE!! The newer birds have been pretty much the same with the 'family' scheme and the dark blue ones with the small nose art!!! Yes, I'm in for one of these!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riffraff Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 The best one IMHO is the dark blue one with the D-Day stripes on the wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I too would love the CF-18 Scheme to the present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice! I'd love to model the old Luftwaffe Challenger with the blue stripe along the window in either 1/144th or 1/72nd. The "newer" scheme with the thin blue cheat line along the bottom of the fuselage is included in the Revell 1/144th kit and the BPK 1/72nd kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) RAAF markings would be nice, very basic cheatline, tail flash, serials and roundels Edited March 4, 2019 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm still hoping.... cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Well I am all in for this in 1/144 scale. I remember finishing a resin desk top model for a customer many years ago. That was a pain as I had to remove the markings it came in by sanding the markings off. Did not realize that there was an overall coat of clean in some sort of super duty epoxy. ANyway finally got it done by piecing together the markingsfrom different sheets. It was in the overall white with stripes. Loved it. So having a new set of marking for the kit would be great. ALready have two kits so may need to get a few more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I am waiting for my kit, folks - I will probably announce something after the next batch of releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
