Can't disagree there Terry as the camo'd Sabre is quite nice. Must have had a fatal flaw somewhere not seen in the pics.

 

[Airframes]

Maybe. Just noticed the wing roundels on the camouflaged sabre - at an angle - compared to the gold one.

[Wayne Little]

All pretty good but I do like the Spitty!

 

[rochie]

very nice

 

[Crimea_River]

I agree Wayne. The Spit also showed up at the more recent Alberta Military Model Show and I'll post more of it in a separeate thread. A very nice build but, for me, a tad heavy on the panel lines but the judges at both shows didn't seem to mind.

 

[Gnomey]

Good ones!

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff there. Agree about the panel lines on ths Spit, especially as only two Squadrons used the MkXII, and for a relatively short period, when weathering was minimal. Still very good though, even though the flaps wouldn't be deployed on the ground!

 

[Matt308]

I liked the -51. Very nice.

 

[Crimea_River]

1/72nd scal OOB category.

Gold went to the Hasegawa A3 B Skywarrior
Silver went to the He 280 by "Homa-Modell"(??)
Bronze is the Go 229 from Revell

The last pic shows a TSR and Canadian Forces 707 which did not place.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice ones!

 

[Airframes]

Nice! I really like that A3B.

 

[Crimea_River]

It is nice isn't it. Showed up at the other show as well.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice!

 

[Wayne Little]

Good stuff, like that A3B too!

Here's the last batch of miscellaneous aircraft model pictures I took.

Some of my fellow countrymen still revere the Avrow Arrow and lament it's tragic end. Perhaps the title of this piece should have been "Wishful Thinking".

This Ki-48 is a vac formed kit by AZ Models:

The workhorse of the Canadian North, the DeHavilland Beaver, complete with scratch-built ski-doo.

A rather nice Nimrod:

And a 1/48 Academy P-47

Next up - Armour!
