Here’s the Christmas present I made for my dad this year.  I picked up an old vac-formed Tutor kit from a local hobby shop, worked some magic on it, and hit a home-run with the end result!

I found the Astra Models Tutor, which actually built up waaaay nice than that piece of Hobbledcraft junk.  The plastic was precariously thin in spots, but worked out nicely.  Given my timeframe I opted to do gear-up, and chose to mount it with the #2 Flying School crest, from Moose Jaw, Sask.

I lived in Moose Jaw as a kid, where the CT-114 Tutor was an all-too common sight.  My love for aircraft and model building got started thanks to that darned plane!
