Outstanding work Lou. It is a testament to your skill as a modeller and your pride as a retired member of the RCAF. To set the goal of creating 100 models (plus some spares...) and to hit that mark is really an amazing accomplishment. I was honoured to have met you last year and also had a chance to visit the Museum in Gander. I am sure the museum is privileged to have this one-of-a-kind collection on display . I would love to see it in person, but currently the drive of over 6800 km poses a challenge   Best Regards, Fraser

My RCAF Centennial Project has been placed on display at the North Atlantic Aviation Museum in Gander NL. 103 models are under glass for all to see until late fall.

Thank you Ken. It is a bit different from making trucks. After reaching 131 RCAF models, I needed a break for a short while.

 This is what it will hopefully look like at the end.

 Another fairing to be made which aligns with the notch in top wing.

 Cooling holes done.

 Also some covers done using 3 layers of 80gsm paper with PVA. Using that a bit of "metal" fabrication
 With a small bit of scrap balsa for reinforcement.
 Ping added to top wing.

 All clipped together. Relatively square.

 Just leaves the engine cylinders and undercarriage legs.
