Canadair CC144
412 Sqn, Canadian Forces, 2008
This is the Revell 1/144 Bombadier Challenger CL601/604 kit with CanMilAir decals. A very neat little kit (very little in 1/144) of an attractive aircraft. The kit decal sheet is actually very good, giving German, Danish and Australian markings as well as useful stencils, etc :
However, having seen an original (144615) at the 2008 Northolt Photocall, and being very impressed with it's clean and smart appearance, this is the one I was going for :
The CanMilAir decal sheet gave 144618 so I checked on line just to make sure it was in the same finish as I was aware that some CC144s are in gloss grey and some in gloss black
Can Mil Air decals are unfortunately no longer available – a shame because there were all kinds of rare (and common) Canadian subjects covered. I was hoping to get a set for my Hobbycraft Avro Arrow but was too late! Anyway, here are the other photos of the model:
