zebra Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I don't think we've ever had a Canadian group build - not one that I can remember anyway. From an aircraft builder's point of view there are plenty of interesting aircraft that have been built in Canada, whether locally designed (like Chipmunks, Otters, Caribou, the CF-100 and CF-105) or licence-built (Canadair Sabres, CF-104s, various WWII types), plenty of interesting foreign aircraft operated in Canada, then there are Canadian units in the RAF. I expect there's probably similar variety for armour and ship builders too. And we could also allow things associated with individual Canadians, like cars driven by Jacques and Gilles Villeneuve - might even allow cars driven by Dan Aykroyd (like the Blues Brothers' car or Ghostbusters ambulance). So the simple rules would be: Anything made in Canada to a local design, whether in Canadian or foreign use. Anything licence-built in Canada, whether in Canadian or foreign use (eg Canadair Sabre in the RAF) Anything operated by Canadian units in overseas forces (eg Canadian squadrons in the RAF) Anything made overseas and in Canadian use (ie in Canadian colour scheme or markings, or Canadian registered) Anything clearly associated with individual Canadians (eg cars driven by Jacques and Gilles Villeneuve) Anything foreign and based in Canada (eg overseas training units based in Canada during WWII) Tenuous Canadian links are good too, as long as there’s something clearly Canadian about it, like the Canadarm on the Space Shuttle, but check with the (generous, welcoming and lenient) host.

Wez Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yes! I'm in for this! Given the number of Canadians on Britmodeller I'm surprised it's taken so long for somebody to suggest this! Count me in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Oh yes, you can add my name to the list Julian. Quick question, would a Leopard tank used by Canada based in Germany qualify? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, under the rule that I forgot to add and have now added - anything made overseas and in Canadian markings would count 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Nothing wrong with Canada or the Canadians, so if you could add me to the list please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisj2003 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yes please. Along with the Belgian, Danish, German.... Starfighters I plan to build I’d like to do many of the Canadian schemes. (I think there’s still 9 in the stash.) 😄 Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vingtor Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Does the Norwegian Training Camp in Toronto/Muskoka during WW2 apply ? Fairchild Cornell, Curtiss Hawk, Douglas A8, Stinson Reliant etc. etc. In Norwegian markings, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As would a Norwegian one. 3 minutes ago, Vingtor said: Does the Norwegian Training Camp in Toronto/Muskoka during WW2 apply ?

Anatol Pigwa Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Unfortunately Canuck decals went out of business, as I would have loved to build the Bruce the Moose CF-5. Though I suppose I cam always fit in a CF-188 somwhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Oooh Oooh me me Pick me please .... Ooooh ooh please please pick me. Maybe I can finally find my Unicorn CF.100 clunk. If not it’ll be an F-86, F-101, or F-104. To many Hornets built already and with next years F-18 stgb that will add another.

Learstang Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) That would be a beauty, for sure! As a bit of a Canadophile myself, I say count me in! I could do a US Army Otter from Vietnam - something I've always wanted to do (my late father flew as a passenger in one of these when he was in the Army, but it was down in Colombia - we were living in the old Panama Canal Zone at the time).

Foxbat Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Count me in. I have a friend in Alberta whose father served on Canso's in Iceland. I've never built any version of a Cat, this would be the perfect excuse to kill several birds with one stone. I'd love to do some Canadian armour too.
