Canadian Group Build - Inspiration

[apophenia]

Civilian aircraft are unrepresented here. There have been a number of Candian bushplane kits - the old 1/72 Norseman is the best-known. But there have others ... from Fairchild vacuforms right up to a snap-fit Beaver in 1/24. With heaps of work, that promotional (Canadian Mist whiskey) Beaver kit could be turned into a detailed work of art!

There have been 1/144 kits of various commuter airliners - DHC-7s, DHC-8s, CRJs, etc. - from Welsh Models, Model Design Construction, and the like. But my personal favorite is the Avro Canada C.102 Jetliner ...

There was a limited-run resin kit (FR14032) in 1/144 from F-RSIN. That is likely an eBay find nowadays ... but it did come with a metal undercarriage and decals.

Another eBay find might be the 1/72 scale Jetliner from Execuform for those who don't mind vacuform builds.

Then, there is a free 3D print version of the C.102 on Printables. It was designed for ~1/305 scale but said to scale to 1/61 (based on a feet to mm conversion). Others would know better but that suggests that this file should rescale to more common sizes - like 1/144 or 1/72 scale.

There are a couple of balsa kits of Alexander Graham Bell's Hydrodome #4 hydrofoil:

A submarine hull, some HO bridges and you could be almost there!
