Can anyone tell me what type of ejector seats the CF-100 Canuk was fitted with?
If anyone also has any photos, better and better.

According to Hobbycraft they were almost unrecognisable blobs. Yes, I'm fighting one now. :-\

Hi Robert,
Yes it is the 1/72 HobbyCraft kit, complete with the, as the Rat says, the blobby bang seats.
I will be puting crew in it so the seats are not toooooooo bad as most will be covered up.
Colour scheme will be NMF.
Operator I have a choice of two in my head.
Some bits from the Revel F-101B will be added to it as will some bits from another aircraft from the same era.
Lets just say that any "Zombies" coming over the Arctic regions should not be scared, they should be very, VERY, TERRIFIED.

Delightful though Obscureco stuff is, and that includes the web site itself, they're pretty well impossible to get in UK now as their agents, Lonewulf, are sadly closing down, or at least they SAID they were at Telford. The Lonewulf web site is still going though, hmmmmm.  :unsure:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I almost bought that Obscureco set a few years back, at Aviation World in Toronto. But some guy bought it out from under my nose as I was looking around the store for it ! He was smart enough to ask for help......
