Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Good evening everyone … I finally was able to get around to taking care of this. Sadly I racked my brain for a good while but cannot figure out how to open the third flap under the fuselage now. Still need the tanks or rocket pods to be added but otherwise shes ready for paint. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts. Dennis 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 That's looking very nice Dennis. It's not an aircraft that I know much about and I certainly didn't appreciate that it had such an enthusiastic following! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Cliff … Yes it is an interesting aircraft that served Canada and Belgium well. Ive always thought of it as Canadas answer to the later models of the Gloster Meteor. She’s a bit awkward looking with the tall undercarriage but still a decent fighter. I’ve added the tanks to this build as the last build had the wing-tip rocket pods.

81-er Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 She's shaping up really well, Dennis, nice work there. It's making me fancy building one myself James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattheCat Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Nice work Dennis. We have one of these big beasts in Brussels War Museum. Sadly not many know it served (well) our country - even if not for long (1957-1964) due to the arrival of the Starfighter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not for long but it did its job, I know even the USAF considered these at one point but opted for the Canberra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Good afternoon everyone … I finally fell asleep at about 6:00 am after working on several builds. I was able to get the black base for the aluminum on this during the session. I also did the satin coat on my F-100 build and did four of the five colors on my F-20/F-5 clone.

Robin-42 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Looks good in black. It would make a good paint job for a prototype.😁 The story for your flap issue is the maintenance guys are try to figure out how the wing flaps came down without the centre section. Your model is therefore accurate! Edited August 17, 2022 by Robin-42 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your model is therefore accurate! I want to do three more of these a camouflage Canadian and Belgian, and an USAF WHIF build maybe even two. One each in NMF and All Black night fighter markings ? If someone did a back date kit for a Mk.3 or a mod to do the Mk.6 I would definitely consider those also. Hopefully I can attend the one local swap meet in November ? That will give me a chance at finding some more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aircraft was on display in Hamilton last time I checked. There is at least one more painted like that in Alberta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Looking very good Dennis I think you're making a very nice job of a model that needs all the help it can get. I'm surprised that the kits haven't been re-released by another manufacturer since. There are much rarer aircraft that get a second life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Id like to see them come back out, This will be decaled by Saturday as its just my busy life stopping me. . That or even a new tooling of the plane with a Mk.3 and Mk.6 which true was only a prototype but would look quite nice with four Sparrow missiles under the wings. Now If my memory is correct Academy owns the Hobbycraft molds. However its entirely possible these are either damaged, beyond use, or just lost ? Its possible @Robin-42 might know.

Robin-42 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Scalemates always knows. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/kitech-3210-avro-canada-cf-100-mkv--941786 I had thought that it was a recent repop, but kitech seems to have disappeared as well.

zebra Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Looks great with the decals on. Such a distinctive, classic aircraft - really glad we have these in the GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 That looks great with the old style roundels. I really like the green markings too... something different from the usual brighter colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
