A handsome and practical aircraft, one that might still work in its role today with appropriate avionics and controls updates.  :mellow:
And naval, which is always preferable.  ;D
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Until I can get a new and better printer, this project is probably stalled at this stage. I mixed a little white into some gloss gull grey, and daubed it on where national markings might have been roughly painted over before being sold on the civilian market. The spray company using it didn't bother repainting the whole aircraft, it just added red bits for visibility and whatever name I can come up with for the business.

Which reminds me; I suppose many of you remember Gary, aka 'Before his wife finds out.' Not sure if we had a commemorative build when he passed, but I might dedicate this to him. Trouble is, I can't remember his surname. Can anyone help me out? He lived in New Brunswick, where this would have operated in the fight against the spruce budworm.
