Kagemusha Posted March 19, 2025 Posted March 19, 2025 As posted on Britmodeller. "Hello from proud Canada ! For your information. A renowned Canadian model maker who wishes to remain anonymous for the moment have recently started a quite interesting project for a 1/32 scale kit of the Canadair CT-114 Tutor. Initially started as a 1/48 project in 2022, and with the arrival of the Kinetic offer to come at this scale the project have now evolved to be at 1/32 scale. This Canadian model maker will eventually identify himself here on this new topic and send us detailed updates on his project. The modeling of the project is 90% complete. If all goes well, the kit could be scheduled for release in the fall of 2025. It will be completely produced in 3D printing resin except for the canopy which will be made of two clear injected plastic parts allowing closed or open cockpit options. Two cockpits will be available : The legacy analog cockpit and the brand new digital glass cockpit integrated last year on the current Tutor Snowbirds fleet . Pilots are also planned, one in a standing position and one in seated position. The decals will be produced by an internationally renowned decal printer and will include markings of the ''Snowbirds'' canadian national team (2024 version) and the ''Golden Centenaires'' national team of the 1967 era. The quantities to be produced are not yet known For the moment, this canadian model maker has allowed me to share with you some 3D / CAD images of his project." 😎👍 SharkOwl and the real thang to whet the appetite...

Tony T Posted March 19, 2025 Posted March 19, 2025 Thanks for posting. What a lovely little aeroplane. Never seen them fly but love "the big 2" red and aluminium scheme on 114120 shown above. The clear injection moulded canopy parts also render the build much more "doable". Tony BloorwestSiR, CRAZY IVAN5 and Martinnfb 3

BloorwestSiR Posted March 19, 2025 Posted March 19, 2025 I could definitely be up for this one. 1 hour ago, CRAZY IVAN5 said: I saw the "Snowbirds" fly quite a few times . Cool little jets , I'm game bring it on! 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. dustiepal, Martinnfb, CRAZY IVAN5 and 4 others 7
Violator1991 Posted March 19, 2025 Posted March 19, 2025 I'd be happier if this mysterious Canadian designer would give us a CF-100 Canuck... But hey, Tutor is fine too. After all it's another 1/32 jet hopefully coming our way and I'm crossing fingers for the Canuck as well. BloorwestSiR, CRAZY IVAN5 and Martinnfb 2 1

DrewH Posted March 21, 2025 Posted March 21, 2025 Must have! Fond memories of this plane - such a joy to fly. I recall providing several of my personal pics to someone a couple years ago for just this - hope it's for the same project. Kagemusha, Martinnfb, Landrotten Highlander and 2 others 5

Cheers Alan I heard a rumour from a fairly reliable source that it might be before Christmas. I also can’t wait. I flew Tutors for 1,600 hours over a span of more than 5 years.

alaninaustria Posted June 13, 2025 Posted June 13, 2025 Any updates for this model? Am pretty excited about it! Cheers Alan williamj and CRAZY IVAN5 2
ColinR Posted September 20, 2025 Posted September 20, 2025 (edited) Just seen this announcement , a 3D printed CR-144 with Snowbird markings , this appears to be in the planning stage, either way it looks impressive TMN: Preview: Joycraft's 1/32nd scale CT-114 Tutor Snowbird kit incoming... The website for the manufacturer is here Scale Model – Joycraft Productions I think this one might just be of interest ...

BloorwestSiR Posted September 20, 2025 Posted September 20, 2025 The price seems very reasonable at $160 Loonies. As I get to see them fly over our house pretty much every year, I'm up for getting one of these when they come out. Carl ColinR 1
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted September 20, 2025 Posted September 20, 2025 I just ordered[reserved] one! I like the idea of injection molded canopies wish other manufacturers would go this route[ vac canopies scare me and always have] scvrobeson and BloorwestSiR 2
