Given the period of amortization of RCAF / CAF / RCAF aviation assets, this is not a WHIF but rather we did do it but no one noticed.  >:D

An absolute stunner that would make any Canadian proud!

The paintwork & weathering are just right.

Outstanding!

Cheers fellas!

 :)

It started off as a post war RCAF Mustang, but something went wrong with the finish. I had a (then) brand new Tamiya Skyraider waiting on deck, so I figured I'd practice the USAF SEA pattern on the Mustang first before putting on the Skyraider (which incidentally ended up being painted in RCN colours  ;D )
