The Argus is beautiful.  There is a museum plane in Comox that is interesting to explore up close. Im pretty sure the altimeters were not calibrated over 100 feet.......

My contribution to this will be in 1/32. The engine has been built for a few years.

Dates from the Late 20's in RCAF.

Not as colourful as RAF equivalent but has a presence in its early scheme.

Number 67 of 100 is my 1/32 Hudson. It is a previous built but which has eluded my camera.

I currently have 6 models on the bench:
1/72 Raytheon/Beech CT-156 Harvard II - awaiting aftermarket decals
1/72 Fairchild Cornell - major components assembled and rough sanded
1/72 Bellanca CH-300 - major components assembled except for rudder/fin that requires redoing
1/32 DHC-1 Chipmunk - parts rough cut
1/32 DH-60 Gypsy Moth - parts rough cut
1/32 Fleet Finch - parts rough cut

A planned 1/32 Fleet Finch is cancelled due to  unavailability of drawings. As it stand now, some dimensions on the Fleet Finch will require some guess work on my part as no two (poor at best) drawings agree.

Two 1/144 drawings for a Short Sunderland and a Lockheed Neptune have been printed. Even at 1/144 scale, they will outsize most 1/72 models.

Here is one I don't think you have yet- Grob G-120A http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/aircraft-current/g120a.page

The sort of plane I would probably carve.

[lastvautour]

I do not and yes, that would be right up your alley.

A nice looking aeroplane.
