Carved in 2002 or 2003 and refurbished to Hungarian marking in 2004. Made from solid pine with home made decals. I just noticed that the pitot boom is missing. The aircraft has been on display at NFTC Cold Lake, Alberta for the past 4 years and may be destined for the Cold Lake Aircraft museum in th near future

Found a few pictures from my Pre-SMM period. Here are a few.  The RCAF F5A is 1/24 scale and the DHC-3 Otter is 1/32 scale.

PS I will post others as I find them.

Found a few more photos. All are 1/24 with exception of the silver Tutor that is somewhere around 1/18.

Such a great looking collection. The silver Tutor is really striking to look at.

The Tutor is around 1/18 scale and was a National Research Counsel  wind tunnel test model. I refurbished it to hang in The Directorate Fighters & Trainers Engineering Maintenance in Ottawa where I was working as a Life Cycle Maintenance Manager looking after the J85-Can-40 Tutor engine. The building has since been leveled and the name of the organization changed.

Thanks for sharing the story on the Tudor. Great history. Does it still survive?

I don't know, but since the Tutor Maintenance Management office must still be in operations, I would hope so.
