The Aft Cabin: The Captain's lost whifs-The Captain's Conundrum of Clutter

Thanks again guys. I found another Voodoo in the cave it was on the floor for some reason. Cats, kids. Anyway, I'll post a pic tomorrow.

The automdioram sounds pretty wicked ! Too bad it's gone. No pics survived either ?

Hey look ! I glued one of the tailplanes on last night. It once had landing gear and a HARM under the fuselage. I hope to fudge the gear doors back on and add the missile, and hang it up in the old room.

I find it interesting that I had the same hunter/ killer idea for both the 104 and the 101.

While we're at it here's a peak at some of the hanging room.

This is Vietnam Corner.

I love the Skyray.

Cheers,

Logan

Thanks Logan. I had an Aussie Arrow all bombed up to the nines but it fell and broke up

Here's my idea for the twin seater. It was always going to be a low-level anti-radar bird, competing against the CF-104 community for supremacy down in the dirt. I did some measurement using the Revell kit with the rotating door, and it seems feasible. A load of four Mavericks in the door, and then a rail with a triple ejector holding the bombs as well as the big Standard or whatever they call it.

Too much ? Not enough ? Just right ?

I like the Tudor, looks great all bombed up- much like a A-37....

Captain Canada · February 14, 2015, 02:19:23 PM

Thanks. Still waffling on the Voodoo load out. Might can the mavericks and put a pod up front like she originally had.

Captain Canada · February 16, 2015, 09:16:42 AM

I've decided to drop the Mavericks. Going with the missile and the bombs.

that will look better....

Does a "Wild Weasel" become a "Wild Beaver" in RCAF service?

Captain Canada · February 16, 2015, 10:17:15 AM

Never thought of it....maybe tho !

Captain Canada · February 16, 2015, 12:35:40 PM

Thank you sir. I have fund a few of the bits from that Sea Whirlwind, so I hope to restore it as well. It will need new landing gear and props/ spinners. Maybe contras from the Shaks.

A suggestion, as I have seen that the Voodoo is the Matchbox kit with the retrofitted box camera nose: why not hang a pair of big HOBOS or Paveway GBU under it, making the camera a 2nd generation sensor turret (A.k.a. Pave Moon 2.0?)

Is the twin-boom beauty there

a C-119 Flying Boxcar?

Captain Canada · February 22, 2015, 05:37:54 AM

Close Tophe, but not quite...it's a little more French than that
