This
is Formaplane’s first vacuform kit which I believe came out sometime in the
early 1980’s. Not many options available if you want a UC-64 in
1/72- Pavla are you listening? It's a very primitive kit with much
scratchbuilding required- basic shape however seems to be spot on to
measurements available on the internet.

The
UC-64 was the first plane to land on the beach at
Normandy. Also, big band leader Glen Miller disappeared in a Norseman
as it was returning to base in England. Many suspect that it crashed into the sea after being struck
by an errant bomb dropped by a returning squadron of B-17’s!
Wreckage from the crash was never found….
I
hope you enjoy seeing this somewhat obscure Canadian aircraft.
