A 434 squadron
CF-5A(R), ready for a long mission. This is the third one of these CF-5/CF-116's I've
built, but the only photo version. They are fairly well done kits for the price.
This one showed up on E-Bay, a while back. It was boxed as a CRF-5A.

Suffering from a badly
dimpled left wing, it almost ended up as a spares contribution. Filling,
sanding & re-scribing that wafer thin wing was fun, believe me. Other
than that, it's a straight forward build, almost O.O.B.
I replaced the
gun barrels with tubing, and replaced the flags and roundels with ones that
were printed sharper.
