Shawn Weiler, of Kitchener, Ontario, performed a
rather unique comparison build on the Aircraft Resource Centre forum of
the three most popular 1:72 scale Hornets: Academy, Hasegawa and
Fujimi.
Shown at the top is the Academy kit that Shawn finished off with CMAD
set # 270 for the AETE testing for the Canadian Hornet fleet modernization
program. The Academy kit was the all-around winner of the best 1:72
scale Hornet kit.
The second photo shows the Fujimi kit finished off with CMAD set # 223 for the 409
Sqn reactivation in 2006. Interestingly, this particular Hornet is the
only aircraft ever to have been ejected from twice. It was rebuilt both
times and continues to serve. The Fujimi kit finished in last place
mostly due to price, the shape of the nose, and the wing tanks.
Needless to say, the Hasegawa kit finished in second place.
An excellent job Shawn, and the comparison thread will become a valuable
resource! We're going to have to start calling you "Hornet"
instead of "Phantom"! |

These menacing looking CF-18's were built by Trevor McTavish
of Airdrie, Alberta. Trevor used two of the Hasegawa "Egg
Scale" F/A-18 kits and finished them off with CMAD set # 369,
choosing markings for 410 Sqn and 425 Sqn.
Awesome job, Trevor! |

built up from the Italeri kit. Sean used the Eduard photoetch update and
flap sets as well as Cutting Edge seats and CanMilAir set # 343.
Another fine looking build, Sean! |

This highly accurate
1:144 scale Avro CF-105 Arrow Mk. II was hand crafted in balsa wood by Cal
Faber of Victoria, British Columbia. Cal used enamel paints and
CanMilAir set # 075 to finish it off.
Very nice work, Cal! |

Al Petrie of
Victoria, British Columbia sent in photos of his finished 434 Sqn Sabre
and posted the following description over on ARC:
"The hobby shop where I work had the 1/18 scale
21st Century F-86 Sabre in "The Huff" markings, but the gun
bay door was missing. Considering that the Huff dragon passed over the
door, a large part of the artwork wasn't there any more. I figured it
was a lost cause to ever sell, even at a reduced price, so I bought it
myself and repainted it in a RCAF scheme. I got the 434 Squadron
markings from CanMilAir decals (wow, he was fast to get them to me,
double plus kudos!). I used Model Master Paints overall, with Tamiya
spray cans for the drop tanks."
Phantom was right Al, this just doesn't fit somehow . .
. LOL . . . . but a great job none the less!
I love the pilots in these kits.

sent in by Nat Dewell from Newmarket, Ontario. Nat added a
rescue hoist, the UHF antennae and the second wheel on the main
gear to the Italeri 1:72 kit.. It was finished with Model Master Paints
and CanMilAir set # 238.
Beautiful job, Nat! Well done! |

American P-51 Mustang IV from 402 "City of Winnipeg" Sqn built
