I think the Vulcan was 1/48 but am happy to be proved wrong. I'm not on the canopy, I think it may have been broken in transit. There were a couple models that had transport damage and the builders left notes to indicate such to the judges.

Michael, it was great to run into you as well. The boys had a lot of fun too. It's the third year that I've taken them along with me.

Cars:

Ships Some Canadian folklore with this model.

Sci-fi were well represented too. Amazing paint job on the YF-21. They made it to look like it was cell shaded.

Helos: One of 2 ICM CH-54 builds.

Armour:

LSPs: This was the Border Lanc built to represent the museum 's Lancaster but the wartime one.

Every year the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum hosts Heritagecon, a fairly large model show at their hanger/museum. It was yesterday so I took out boys and one of their friends on the hour long drive to get there. Attendance was higher this year compared to last, and there were lots of models on display and entered in the contest. Here's pics of some of the models. Aircraft:

Went to Heritagecon yesterday and picked up a couple items. The Geara Doga has been a bit hard to find of late, certainly at a reasonable price so when I saw this one I picked it up. Someone had these for $60 CAD for the s so another no brainer. I also picked up another 1/16 AFV kit. I was looking for the Gecko Universal carrier but there weren't any deals on them. One shop had a bunch of Days Werk and Andy's kits though. Best price I've seen even compared to online. Last thing was we entered the local club raffle. My son won twice, the first prize was a NASCAR Camaro. The second prize was the new 1/12 Italeri Stratos kit. I was a bit gobsmacked by that, having bought one a couple months ago. He gave it to his friend who come along to the show with us which I thought was very generous. Carl

Wow, that looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing the pics Max. Carl

Happy birthday Hubert!

I imagine it should work on the Tamiya E kit. The fuselage profile on the short nosed F-4 kits and the long nosed ones is the same at that point. I have an old Cutting Edge conversion that was designed for the short nosed F-4 kit before Tamiya came out with the long nosed ones and it's a perfect fit on the long nose fuselage. Carl

It's the Kai variant which is an updated EJ that has the strips on the nose. The complete cone is a slightly different shape as well I believe.

I could definitely be up for this one. I see them pretty much every Labour Day weekend as they have been the closing act in the CNE airshow as far back as I can remember. Here's a pic when they flew with the CWHM Lancaster a few years ago.

This should be a fun build. I recently did something similar and made a JASDF F-15 Kai from the Patlabor 2 anime. Lots of kitbashing with that one too. Carl

The C is on sale today at Sprue Bros as part of their daily Lightning deals. https://spruebrothers.com/zimkh32015-1-32-zimi-model-kitty-hawk-t-28c-trojan/

I emailed Andy's and they replied that the kit not expected in Canada until mid-April. So we will have a slightly longer wish for them to arrive. It gives me more time to clear the bench a bit I guess.

Here you go: https://www.ebay.ca/str/resin2detail?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BQ7r_axEQ82&sssrc=3418065&ssuid=J7xpuL_STvq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I think that's the reason they have the eBay store. My understanding is that eBay will take of the calculations and administration of the VAT so that the vendors don't have to go through the registration process with the UK tax bureau. Of course it means the prices might be a bit higher though.

They have an eBay store so you may be able to get the items that way. Carl

Looking at this drawing, is it me or does the starboard cannon feed not line up with the breech? Shouldn't it be staggered a bit?

Patiently (or not?) waiting for them to arrive in Canada.

I think this is the one you're asking about. Here's the listing on Hobby Search although it's 1/72. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/11138258 Definitely a Whiffer as it's from a video game. Carl

Hopefully someone comes out with a 1/35 CN Tower section. That would make a great scene.
