Some of you may remember a prolonged squawk coming from the direction of Toronto when Ollie announced his Wolverine (a beauty, to be sure). Trouble was that just a couple of weeks before that I had already named one of my projects the same, and I was loathe to change it, especially with the backstory already written up.

Well, Ollie being the great guy that he is, basically remarked 'Ah what the hell, this is what-if, right? Don't sweat it.' Thank you very much sir!  :cheers:

I have contacted Tom to see about a formal submission, but until then here's a little teaser. Quality isn't great as the camera, a new Kodak 3.2mp CX7300, doesn't have a macro setting, but at least I'm finally able to send the odd pic in.

Gentlemen, may I present the Handley Page Wolverine? I think it was made to wear Maple Leaf roundels!  B)

Thanks guys! I guess you noticed that genuine Canadian 25 cent piece beside it? That is one small Victor.

QuoteWhat kit is this btw?
I got it through mail order over thirty years ago (Squadron Shop?), and after seeing how primitive it was it languished for years. It was bagged and I've long-lost the cardboard that held it together, and the instructions have no name on them, but I have reason to believe it was a company called Lincoln International. Measurements roughly give a scale of 1/153rd, but that could perhaps be rounded up or down.
