This Weekend in The Hangar: The crew hadn't seen a new arrival in a while but this week it happened. A sleek dual-seat CF-104 Starfighter pulls in to add to the #ModelAircraft collection. Check it out in more detail at: www.flypastrush.com/post/tf-to-c...

Sometimes you head to the paint shop questioning whether you are ready just yet (but really you just need to move forward ) I figured the P-47 was good to go, the Mitchell… hopefully. It was more #ModelAircraft hope than a careful review… Not surprised… some seams still need attention

True enough 23147 is a Mk.5 (my bad) I didn’t proofread that before I hit send - Here is my Mk.6 - Slats down 🤘🏻

While the topcoat dries on the others, I turned my attention to the next production line. A couple of more Canadian crewed examples in this B-25D and P-47D #ModelAircraft coming along

Got the trio of 🇨🇦 #ModelAircraft to the Paint Shop to spray the final sealer coat on. Now some drying time before the next stage.

Last week’s work was sludging down the the 🇨🇦 trio of #ModelAircraft to get them prepared for the final sealer coat. Missed pre-coat on a couple of areas which resulted in some minor paint damage so that will have ti be fixed. Then bbsat the granddaughter on the weekend so this week I have a cold🤧

Rachel, the 1/48th Revell kit is a big (26" or 66 cm wingspan) impressive build (with a few shape issues, depending on your tolerances). There are actually 2 kit versions, a Canso and a Catalina. One is a true flying boat the other has retractable gear. It's a pretty decent build for its age.

The third in the #ModelAircraft trio now gets some attention with a bit of dual-language decaling (and challenging print-on-demand decals at that - Although I am thankful for the supply of the interesting subject matter.) 🙂

Agreed, probably the prettiest scheme for the 2-seater. Managed to pick up another Starfighter today as it was on SALE (Best of Breed so, how could I pass it up?) …May convert this over to a CF-104 and build another D in the two-tone low-vis scheme 🤘🏻

…and minutes after I took that photo… 🤔 Wait a sec, those wing markings look too small… which ones off the sheet did i use… 😬 …..Oh crap crap crap! 🫣 A lapse of brain function after all the careful planning (seems to go hand in hand with model construction projects) 🚧 Get me a scraper…

I think that the Golden Hawks Sabre was my first RCAF Sabre build (a lonnng time ago, using the 148th Monogram kit). The gold paint job catches some attention in The Hangar still :)
