Colin - 2017 Camaro – this build was a kit he won as a prize at out October Show. Very nice paint job, the best one I have ever seen from a rattle can. Very smooth!

Chris J – Turkish Leopard 2A4/Panther D – Great to see Chris again. He brought along two fabulous projects from the same Tank Cat family, separated by decades - the WWII Panther and Modern Leopard II. You may know Chris from his world class builds, being published in many model magazines world wide. The Turkish Leopard is on the cover of one of the latest issues of Abrams Squad.

Gord – Gord is continuously practicing his finishing on his T34. This one was recently dipped and restarted. Looking good Gordo!

Rod C – Rod brought in two recently finished builds, his Trumpeter Russian Typhoon, and Italeri 105mm Howitzer. Great work Rod!

Steve R – Steve now has all the parts to build his beast – The Canadian Leopard I. He is building to match the Leo he drove when he was with the Royal Canadian Dragoon (RCD) in the Cold War.

Steve F – Steve was inspired by John Kelloway’s Lancaster that received best in show in the October competition, to bring in his own version of the Lancaster from 404 Sdn RCAF. He also brought in a 410 Sdn Vampire, A Canadair Sabre Mk II from 414 Sdn RCAF, and aH03 Helicopter from 103 SAR Sdn.

New member Mitch brought in his in progress F4F wildcat, looking good so far Mitch!

Cory has a diverse taste in kits, and has a large collection of gamer pieces. He brought in some of his gaming figures. Very nicely painted, and as you would expect for gaming, also a durable paint job. 😉

And I brought in my in progress Panther F – a very late war version of the Panther tank with a smaller turret and bigger gun. I show it side by side compared to Chris J Panther D.

See you in 2018!

Keep Building!!!!

Meeting Highlights:
Derrick brought along a couple of his builds – Japanese Claude and Romanian IAR80, unique aircraft, nice job!

Dennis brought his 1/5 scale SE5A with Billy Bishop markings. This thing flys!

Gary brought in a beautiful Edsel…

Steve F shows off the old AMY Winnie Mae, and a Noorduyn Norseman in pre-confederation Nfld VO registration markings.

Curt shows us his AMT 1/1400 Starship USS Enterprise D. This is blacked out with black paint, will be painted in the grey/beige colors, and will have LED and Phaser ring colors installed. That means over 1000 scratch outs of the paint to get the lights to shine through inside. Curt hopes this will be done for the Show in Oct. I personally can’t wait to see it.

Joe showed his in-progress Sherman Tank build, and a track display with different types of tracks, Plastic individual link for the Sherman (foreground), Friul metal Panther tank tracks with Burnishing Fluid applied (middle). Friul metal Tiger I tracks painted Burnt Iron (behind). Tamiya XF-84 Burnt Iron paint bottle behind tank.

Craig shows us his entry for the Club Egg Plane contest, his Focke-Wolf FW190.

Be sure to check out next month to see the results of our Egg Plane competition!
