RCAFFAN Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Is this the one that was at IPMS Calgary Western Regionals on June 6th? If so even better in person. Great job. There was also a great 1/72 version of the same plane with the only fault being that builder relied on a set of decals printed in the US and the decal maker used the wrong Maple Leafs in the roundels. Two CL52s at one contest was interesting for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Erickson Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Marvelous work. Where ever did you find the fuselage to nacelle connection details? Such a beautiful aircraft and marvelous testbed subject. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t realize the builder was from my former stomping grounds, the Cool Pool. Edited March 7, 2021 by Scooby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kap384 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 First time poster . Incredible builds and great examples of Canadian history. I've got a 1/48 Arrow, CF-100,and CF-101 Voodoo to build to represent 50's and 60's Canadian fighters, what was, what could've been and what we got stuck with. Can only dream out being able to reach this level of modelling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 1/48 B-47???? My hat is off to you, my man. Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Yes indeed! Beautiful work on the CL-52! Oh, nice Voodoo too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonwinn Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Most excellent orange I have ever seen! She is a beauty!!!!! Is that the Stratojet that the frame was twisted so bad from that test engine it never flew again? Dam nice paint job!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnEB Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Jonwinn... According to my B-47 books, the aircraft was returned to the USAF in flyable condition. It was, however, taken to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona and eventually scrapped. The scrapping likely had less to do with any damage than the work it would take to bring it back to operational standard...but I suspect the real reason was Stratojets were nearing the end of their lives, especially older "B" models, as this one was. Anyway, great build. I would love to see a completed 1/48 B-47. Edited November 7, 2022 by JohnEB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coop Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This model of the B47/CL52 is very impressive. Kudos to the builder. FYI...my dad was the Orenda CTP for this program and was pilot in command for all the in flight testing of the PS13 on the B47. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
