RCAF 416 Lynx Squadron c.1962
With
the news of the upcoming re-issue of this great little kit, I thought I'd share
with you my CF-101B, which I built about 5 yrs ago. I bought it in a rural
convenience store about a half hours drive from my home. A friend of my brother
in law donated some decals from a company called A.L.S. I haven't seen any of
these decals since then which is a shame as they were in perfect register and
printed on nearly invisible carrier film.

The
kit itself is very nice and has finely recessed panel lines and dropped flaps as
well as position able horizontal stabs, speedbrakes, canopy and rotating missile
bay. External stores includes 2 of each, drop tanks, AIM 4 Falcons and AIR 2
Genies.
The
cockpit is nicely done with multi part seats and decals over raised detail on
the consoles and instrument panels.
Full
intake trunking is included along with some afterburner detail too. The gear
bays are also nicely done. If you want to do a CF-101B, you'll need to shave off
the formation light panels as I did unless your doing the all black EF-101B of
414 Sqn. I also had to remove the IR pod as the early RCAF Voodoo's
didn't have those.
