Clave Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck entered service in with the RCAF in 1952 and the Belgian Air Force in 1957. The Canuck was one of very few all-weather jet fighters in that era and so remained operational for a very long time. The early versions were armed with machine guns, but the Mk IV versions onwards had rocket pods on the wing-tips. Each pod contained 29 x 70mm rockets. CF-100 Mk V of 11 Escadrille Belgian Air Force 1958. CF-100 Mk V of 349 Escadrille Belgian Air Force 1960. CF-100 Mk V of 350 Escadrille Belgian Air Force 1960. CF-100 Mk V of 428 Squadron RCAF Air Force 1956. CF-100 Mk V of 440 Squadron RCAF Air Force 1957. CF-100 Mk V of 445 Squadron RCAF Air Force 1956. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radalt Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Great idea – always liked the CF-100 so what model are you going to use, hope it’s 1/48 and have you decide Belgian or Canadian yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radalt Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well, all I can say is the very high standard of your drawings and origin of the data has set me a challenge …….. And I never knew the Belgians flew them…….. Thanks Clave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 You don't see the CF-100 mentioned much and I can recall seeing only one photo of a completed model. Very nice work. And I too didn't realize the Belgian Air Force flew these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I love the “Clunk” its one of my Unicorn models. And I'm always on the lookout for one. Great work on the art @Clave Thanks for posting and thanks to @SAT69 for reviving the thread. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Beautiful artwork Clave and the 350 Escadrille aircraft has motivated me to go stash mining for my Hobbycraft kit which is unfortunately a Mk IV. It's a 'basic' kit but Mastercasters offer a resin cockpit which IMHO will be a solid investment. Need to find out what changed with the Mk V and where HC messed up. @Corsairfoxfouruncle Unicorn Air Force perhaps? Could be a good Group Build.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hobbycraft did a IV & a V, I only found this out after buying a IV & discovering it was wrong for the Modeldecals Belgian decals I had for it. Luckily, I was able to pick up a V soon after for a decent price. Afaik, Canada was the only operator of the IVs. To convert it to a V would involve reprofiling the belly to remove the guns & extending the wings to the squared off wing tips. Doable but there is probably more than that but I stopped researching after I found the V kit. Btw, @Clave hasn't visited these pages for about 3 1/2 year by the look of his profile. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
