1/72nd Canadair CT 133 Silver Star, 21463, of 400, City of Toronto, Sqn, 1955-6 Platz/ Italeri Kit.

The Lockheed T33 Shooting Star was chosen by Canada to provide a jet trainer to met training needs for the RCAF and eventually for the RAF. The aircraft were built under licence as the CT133 Sliver Star, and the major difference from the Lockheed aircraft was the replacement of the original J33 engine with a licence built Rolls-Royce Nene unit. This was a little heavier than the J33, but was more powerful, giving the Silver Star a better performance than the T33. Some aircraft were later sold abroad, some ending up in France. External changes to the Nene powered aircraft were minimal. An exhaust port on the port rear fuselage and different inlets on the nose are the most visible.

The model uses the very Platz kit, mine was the Italeri re-boxing. The kit goes together well and is nicely detailed.

The WIP for it is here

Haseggawa Space Shuttle Egg Plane with Canadarm

 

Here is my small contribution to this GB

Canadarm (officially Shuttle Remote Manipulator System or SRMS) is a robotic arm that was used on the Space Shuttle orbiters to deploy, manoeuvre, and capture payloads.

It's the only eggscuse I could find from my stash which would allow me to enter the GB

!/48 Airfix F-86F-40 converted to Canadair Sabre Mk.2 with reduced wing span & chord, and 'Vee' windscreen.  Decals from Above & Below Graphics.

 

This aircraft was flown by my father from RCAF Grostenquin, France, in 1954, callsign 'Boozey-eight-seven'. He delivered it to Manchester Ringway, UK in May 1954, for refurbishment for the Greek (or Turkish air force, not sure which) . It was a notable sortie as he ran out of fuel on the taxiway after landing, due to having to hold while an RAF Vampire that had bellied in was dragged off the runway.
