The RCAF Expeditor is complete. Decals were from Hobbycraft/Matchbox kits with a few home made.

Holy mackrel Lou! That's a very nice B18/C45. Feel like going for a ride. Also well presented as it is on the tartan of the RCAF.

Love that bright, snappy paint scheme.  I have got to build me one of these!

Thank you all. The RCAF colour scheme is striking. If I make another, it will be the USN white and dayglo scheme.

Thank you Barry. It will sit upon RCAF Tartan in a plexiglass case. I will be donating it to a friend for his 70th birthday next July. The case is in the works. I will post photos when done.

I have never heard of RCAF Tartan Lou ? I am sure that your friend will be delighted with his lovely Beech 18 in its custom case,a very worthy thing to do and spread joy to others.

The RCAF Tartan is probably close to the RAF style. We use for decorations, table cloths, kilts etc.
Here I am in a Kilty golf tournament.

The case is done and just need a bit of smoothing the rough edges. The model is just sitting on the tartan for now. I want a piece of acrylic that will be glued to the corner suspending the model in a slight banking condition.

Very impressive Lou! Did you cut the acrylic yourself or did you have it cut professionally?

Balsabasher
