On the bench:
1/72 Northrop Delta awaiting carburetor scoop and exhaust stubs
1/72 Brewster Bermuda is in block form
1/72 DHC-1 Chipmunk is in block form
1/72 HP Halifax is in block form
1/72 Canadair Argus no progress
1/32 Otter fuselage rough carved
1/144 Canadair North Star is in block form

The RCAF project is slowing down with bigger models being made. I anticipate the Halifax and Otter may be done by Christmas with smaller models at a rate of one or two per month.

Greetings all.
Modeling time is still being impacted by the ongoing kitchen repairs and other family commitments ( not that they aren't  fun though😃)

However I am still getting a bit of time on the St Hubert. Will continue on the tutorial as well. I think once the carving and shaping of the three major parts (wing,tail,fuselage) I will get that completed and then carry on with details, in a non linear progression ie: I'll work all parts as time permits. Good to see the other models progress and I'll catch up soon with reading the posts.

On the production line: an FE-8 fighter. I know I swore I'd never tackle another pusher, but...
