Number 108 is a 1/72 scale AVRO CF-100 Canuck. The Canuck was the first mass-produced jet fighter designed and built in Canada. The Mk 3D accounted for 136 out of a total production of 751.

The Barkley-Grow T8P-1 was an airliner developed in the United States shortly before the Second World War. Although it saw limited use  with only eleven produced, the type was well-received as a bush plane in Canada. The RCAF flew one from 1939 to 1941. Two are currently on display in Canada with another held in storage. The Barkley Grow is number 110 in my RCAF 100th project.

Built out of sequence, here is my 100th RCAF model. The Argus is a Canadian design based on the Bristol Britannia. Thirty-three examples were produced and all retired by the early 1980s having lost two to accidents.

As our group builds never close, I will continue to build along with other subjects.

At their request, I submitted the following article for the Royal Canadian Air Force magazine. Here is the scanned version as it appeared. Please do not repost the article as it is proprietary to the magazine.

The RCAF had 18 Ventura from 1943 to 1948. This is probably the last aircraft to be done prior to 1 Apr 2024.
