Jurek Greinert Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) As in the title, Hobbycraft model toy, like Frog but engraver with a complete lack of detail and lines like Mariana Trench. Unfortunately this is the only Canuck in 48. For my part made from scratch: wheel bay, landing gear, position lights, nozzles, vacu canopy with windshield and smalls. Added resine seats Pavla (the closest to the original MB - probably Mk.2) and PE table clocks with something that I most fit to oryginal. Painted Gunze SM Chrome plus other, decals CanuckModels 024 - 428 "Ghost" Squadron. At the end of a small comparison to A-4. Canuck is really big plane, a long time ago I thought it was a Meteor and here you have to add about 50%. Another curiosity is the version Mk.4 armed with a rocket carriage (70 mm in the tray 48 pieces - fired a salvos) Feel free to ride.

Nik W Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 You've done a great job with what is a pretty rough and ready kit! I've often looked at building one and decided against it, but seeing the great job you've done makes me think twice. Regards, Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Nice work on that horrible beast of a kit! One small word of correction though: The Mk. IV CF-100 had 8 X .50 guns in the tray under the fuselage. The rockets were carried in wingtip pods, 29 per pod. Your model shows the optional wingtip fuel tanks. Here's a photo showing the rocket pods as they looked before firing them knocked the nose and tail fairings off: And one with the tanks (The gun pack is nicely displayed here): 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old thumper Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I remember first reading about the Canuck in Wings magazine back in 1970's, since then I had almost forgotten about the Canuck. Thanks for reminding me of it and well done for making such a beautiful model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
