Well for the CE-144 it is grey over grey IIRC, since this was the EW training version flown by 414 Sqn - RCAF. The CC-144 was the VIP Transport version flown by the RCAF (412 Sqn), and you have them in the white scheme with red/white lightning bolt or the dark blue scheme like in the 72nd kit. A CL600S is a factory bird, I assume, painted as per customer requests, so the sky's the limit, pun intended!?!

Do you have Pat Martin's books on RCAF colour schemes? They're worth every penny :)

The CC-144s were in overall white with the typical RCAF lightning flash, such as this:

CE-144s were first finished in a paint scheme reminiscent of the CF18 fleet:

Later they were done in overall grey:

You may want to talk to Bill at CanMilAir decals about using his artwork in your kits.

I sit corrected about the CL600S, it was an early model that Canadair used to test the winglets later applied to other Challengers. If you plan to do a civy bird then best to check the 'Airliners' site for a scheme that strikes your fancy. Hope you do something colourful and repeat it in 72nd........

Thanks

Its worth the wait, it is a great looking kit.

This is my building process for Challenger CL605 1/72 Big Planes Kits Part 1. I took as a basis for this kit http://bigplaneskits.com/shop/uncategorized/challenger-cl-601/. I will replace only the side windows. New windows for the CL605 will be a larger diameter. I am very pleased with the docking parts. I can say that this is the best, our model for today. The latest news is always in http://bigplaneskits.com/blog/
