The renewed version of the camouflaged RCAF machine is on my acquisition list. Excellent work on the retextures.

Next version of my Stranraer, this picture seems to be part of a batch that has been recently released, because I couldn't find any of them two years ago when I did the original model of this plane.
The CV-209 was built late 1940 in Canada by Canadian-Vickers. Flew operationally with the RCAF until April 1944. Sold in May 1944 as the first Stranraer civil conversion and registered as ‘CF-BXO’. Continued civil operations until August 1966 and then stored. During its years in civil use, several minor non-standard modifications had been carried out. Purchased by the RAF Museum in 1970, it was dismantled and brought to the UK in two RAF Short Belfasts. It was then restored and repainted at Henlow and in 1972 it went on permanent display in the main historic hangars at Hendon, where it remains today as the only complete survivor of the type. RAF Museum, Hendon, London, UK.
About the paper model, this version should be ready to download next Monday 11. As always, scale 1/33, 1/72 and 1/100.

Following this "not famous" destiny, there is not a paper model of the Stranraer at any scale.
So far I have made 40+ paper models, including some redesing, so I decided to start my career of model designer with this beautifull forgotten plane.
My intention is to release this model free in this site and maybe another, dependind the rules of this place (some administrator who wants to help me with a private message, please)
Anyway, so far I have made one and part of another page. As I will be designing and assembling the model at the same time, I will end with a finished plane and you will end with a part of the WWII history.

Can you possibly make korean air md-80 livery? I bought all of the md 80 repaints.

Leo, I stopped making repaints of the Md-80 because it had low sales, even one of them had none.

Just a few minutes ago the 1/100 version of the Supermarine Stranraer CF-BXo year 1962 has been released in ecardmodels!
Enjoy a totally new version with improved weathering!

The 1/33 version of the Supermarine Stranraer CF-BXO year 1962 has been uploaded in ecardmodels, it should be ready to download tomorrow, as always.

I'm starting to work on the upgrades of the K7287, and should be ready to download next Monday.
Now, I'm including two pictures of the same plane, one with the L letter and another without it. I'll keep the letter, this is just and example of what will happen if you research too much
