What Tou Dou with a Nou Caribou?

[The Big Gimper]

Folks:

I picked up at a LHS a Hobbycraft Caribou for $23 CDN. NISB. 

So I am asking the BORG of WHIFDOM, what can I dou with my Caribou?

I think we have beaten the Gunship theme to death so what do my fellows of the loyal order of styrene toys (LOST) have to say?

1. Maritime Patrol Aircraft?
2. AWACs/AEW? My Dash 8 has that covered.
3. SAR?
4. Drone Carrier?
5. Airborne Tanker?
6. ELINT? A baby brother to the EC-121R Batcat?
7. Flareship? Replacement for the C-123K Black Bat?
8. ?

Maritime Patrol in French Aerovonale colours
                       or a Canadian SAR bird -- yellow / red with that inflatable belly-cushion for landing on water that they planned for the Buffalo

To put everyone out of their misery (because I know they're waiting for it) let me suggest a flying boat. I know I know, totally predictable, but what did you all expect?

Could be. Scab on flying boat hull and underwing floats. Hmmm .... Big brother to the Grumman Albatross?

Nope, it needs big floats ---    amphibious ones to boot

We have a winner!! RCN COD it is. With tanking ability.

RCN combined the functions of the AJ-2 Savage and C-1 into a single aircraft.
