Done so far:
Snowbirds (CAF, Aerobatic)
Golden Centennaires (RCAF, 1967 Aerobatic)
Malaysian Tebuan (RMAF, Ground Attack Fighter)

RCAF (1970 Trainer)...ready to be published

Working on:
Red Knight (Canadian AF Training Command, Aerobatic)

Future consideration, but not planned:
CL-41R Experimental
Canada Forces Type 4 Trainer (last version of the Trainer, newer markings)
AETE CL-41 (Canadian Aerospace Test platform)

There are some civilian versions, since all but the Snowbirds aircraft were sold off to civilian pilots...
John Travolta owned one! lol
...but I haven't got much info on any of those.
So nothing planned.
Probably not much of a market for those anyway.

Good to know. I'm definitely in for the 1970 RCAF trainer and the Red Knight. I would definitely buy an AETE version too, if you decided to do that one; I love the look of that livery. I'm still mulling over whether or not I want to get the RMAF Tebuan.

Please document your build of the Snowbirds kit
or at least show us the final outcome.
As I said, if you need help, just let me know.
You are also welcome to pick up a canopy.

I don't know about the AETE version yet...but maybe you can test build it (if I ever decide to create it).

I'll do my best to document my build of the Snowbirds kit. So far, I've printed all the sheets and clearcoated them. I've started laminating internal formers to double thickness heavy card.

I also assembled a spare copy of the nose cone (inside out) and filled it with 5 minute epoxy to start forming the positive mould for eventual vacuum forming a clear nose cone. I have a lot of work to do on it to get it to final shape; but the initial result with the epoxy is promising.

I'll have to post an image of the headlight plate(s) I drew up for the model, assuming creating a clear nose cone works out.

I'll post pics soon-ish.

Oh wow! I almost forgot about that!
Thanks for reminding me.

I did up parts for the Nose a while back (when we first discussed this)
but I never got around to making up a file to share.

Heres a quick PDF of all the parts for both versions (early and late).

CL41 NOSE DETAILS

Maybe, if you have success making a nose canopy, you could share it with me?
or share the mold for it?
I could try it myself.

And, if I ever do decide to market the Cockpit Canopy, I can include the Nose piece.

Yeah, thats the forum trying to automatically change the link to a text line...messes up the link every time.
Lets repost this...since I can't edit the original post...

The link below is a the headlight plate that I drew up. I probably went overboard with some details, given how small they end up when printed. I probably also provided myself with more "3D" parts than necessary.

CT-114_Headlight_Plate_for_Clear_Nosecone

I'll gladly share a nose canopy with you if it succeeds. In fact, I think I might build a second mold now, so that if it does succeed I'll already have a spare mold to share.

Here are a couple of images of the nosecone mold in its early stages of existence.





In the images above, you can see that I've only just started to scrape away the cardstock used to produce the initial form. I drew a vertical line down the centre just to remind me which way it needs to be oriented, until I can refine the shape. I'll probably use epoxy putty to build any low spots up, and to build a skirt around it for better results while vacuum forming.

As for the broken link in Dave's post, there's a simple workaround. You need only copy the link, which ends up looking like "http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediafire.com%2Fdownloa d%2Fdrqvmw8q9vxgue4%2FCL41_NOSE_DETAILS.pdf" then strip everything from the beginning to the = sign. After that replace the "%3A" with ":" and every "%2F" with "/" and you should be off to the races.

Okay, now the followup/repeat post stopped working.

What is going on with this forum?
I used to post links really easy, but now the posts are automatically altered when publishing and links sometimes don't work.
I even tried typing text, and then hot linking it...but now it has changed and doesn't work again.

I see that 14thwarrior's link is corrupt too.

I want to type the direct access to the file...can we turn off this auto-changing of the link?

And yesterday I had a nightmare time with "tags".
I was creating a longish post, that required me to "preview" a few times to check structure and spelling.
but everytime I previewed, it added a new set of tags...way too many tags, so that it gave me a warning.
I would delete all tags...and the next preview created a whole new set of too many tags!
