Some
times you can go to a hobby show and great some really good deals. This years
HeritageCon in Hamilton Ontario (Canada) was no exception. Run by a well known
guy who used to hang around ARC until he joined the dark side and models only
cars, HeritageCon is the one hobby show in this province you must attend. This
model came with another CF-104 which I am currently building and more resin then
I will ever use. I think there was parts from at least 4 Starfighters in that
big box, but I am only going to get two completed models out of it.

It also
helps when you can pick up all the decals you want at the same show. In this
case I bought over $100 worth of decals from Canuck decals who also attended the
show. A new entry to the Canadian market but boy, he does great work. This model
using Canuck decals represents a 441 squadron bird back at the 1976 TAM meet in
Europe. After the end of the tactical part of the meet all 5 of the
participating Canadian planes had their tails painted white with a big Maple
Leaf in the middle holding the letter that plane used during the competition. In
my case I chose "D".
