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.

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
)
