I forgot to take a pic of the placard, but these were built by a serviceman in the barracks during downtime. I think they are balsa.

My thoughts exactly mate  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

They're MAGNIFICENT!  :thumbsup:

What sort of scale are they? They look pretty darn small, but very well detailed nonetheless.

Oneof the best collections I've EVER seen!! Kit summed it up with magnificent. I think the way thet've been displayed is absolutely amazing.

Somehow I expected there to be a CF-105 in there somewhere, but I can't see one. There is a Bomarc though.

Well Kit, the display is of 'operational' aircraft, and the Bomac was an aircraft of sorts even though classed as a missile (got a 1/72 scale one in the stash too), the CF-105 only got as far as a flying prototype in Avro use, not RCAF

Yes it's a beauty collection alright ! Now wish I had taken the time to get some better pics. Hopefully I can time our return trip into another stop there eh ?

I think they're 200 to 350 or there abouts. I'll have to read the placard and maybe try a measurment.

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.
