RCAF 100th Anniversary build

[lastvautour]

It is my intention to have 100 solid model aircraft in my collection by 2024. I have quite a few that I will post here in due time. The others will be built on my personal board and finished photos post here. To make it a true cook-up I ask at least one other member join me in my quest.

The first model is my DH-82 Tiger Moth numbered RCAF 1 of100.

I have a few ideas.

3 to 8 of 100 are all 1/144 scale. I have counted my RCAF models and can up with 51, so I need to make another 49 to meet my goal.

DHC-3 Otter
DHC-4 Caribou
DHC-5 Buffalo
DHC-6 Twin Otter
Canadair CC-109 Cosmopolitan
Douglas C-47 Dakota

[Dave T]

I was wondering if you were counting completed models.

[lastvautour]

Yes I am but still need to build another 48 models.

Lou

[Dave T]

One every two weeks. You can do it, if anybody can.

I have made a list of 104 aircraft and will feature all scales. So far I have downloaded just 4 set of plans but then, I have 26 months to complete my goal. Scale will be decided depending on the aircraft.  The Gypsy Moth will be 1/32 and the North Star(C-54/DC-4 with Rolls-Royce Merlin engine) will be 1/144. Despite my fairly large display area, shelf space will be a consideration. Most will be 1/72 with a few 1/48.

I really like that Heron. Nice work.

Thank you Dave. I can not find any info on when I did this one. I think I have had it for at least 5 years??

Lou
