Canadian Group Build feeler
Posted by gunner_chris on Friday, March 22, 2013 11:27 AM

With a bunch of the new members popping up from Canada, it got me thinking why not have a Canadian group build.

Probably a nice broad range, anything the CF (though we were just advised we're back to being the Canadian Armed Forces again) has or is using in Canadian markings.

Anyone interested?

Would Johnny Kent's Hurricane from the Battle of Britain qualify?

Certainly watching this one, for obvious reasons! Not sure if I'll be able to commit to a kit yet though. I've got a couple of "what-if" RCAF birds on the short term list though.

After careful consideration I've made my choice ;

I'll build an 1/72 RCAF H-34A using the Italeri kit and belcher Bits decals

hmmmm, actually, almost forgotten, I have a pair of 1/72 Sabres in the stash for sure. Getting more interested, depending on the timeframe.

Haven't put a lot of thought into a timeline yet

I may crossover with the operation overlord or do another kit...... Choices.....

I'd be interested, especially if Canadians in the RAF qualify

Sure why not

Anyone good with making badges?

Would a start date of May 1st seem reasonable?

Being a Canadian, would be a shame to pass this one up, though I can't see myself starting anything till close to the end of the year.  I too was going to ask about the markings aspect since I don't build much subjects post WW2 - or is this more of a modern GB theme?

Anyhow, here is a possible badge proposal:

regards,

Jack

Cool, then I'm in, and May 1st sounds good to me, or any date to be set for that matter..  I'd be in with a Spit (mk I or Vb, not sure yet) with Eduard etch, CMK guns and engine, maybe a little extra resin elsewhere.

The 1078 no, as for the 1083 looks similar to our HLVW

I have 10 Sabres in my stash with many assorted RCAF decals to go with them.  I might play but I already have a lot on my plate.

Retired and living the dream!

I'm kind of fair-weather when it comes to GBs, but I have been enjoying these country oriented ones, so I believe I will be in, as long as it goes to the end of the year.

Will "what ifs" count? If so, I think I got a pretty good one in mind.

Don't think its been specified either way, but I've got options for both "real" and "what-if" scenarios...

I had a look through the stash. I have a Hasegawa T-33 with leading Edge Silver Shark decals, some decals for an CF-17 or some very nice ones for some CF-104s. I also have an Airfix Chippy with Canadian markings.

I'm leaning towards the T-33 or Chippy.

Yes there will be a new thread started with all the details.

What-ifs are fine as long as they're in some some type of Canadian Forces markings.

If you want to make a Canadian Apache, aircraft carrier etc.  creativity is welcome!
