This model went together so fast its silly even for me.  I took yesterday off work sick.  Boss left me be and I built. Today, big snowfall.  Did not need to go out apart from shoveling four times so I didn't. Model is DONE!!!  Its another Hobbycraft CF-100.  This time done up in 440 squadron markings using a 23 year old decal sheet from Arrow graphics.  Have to like decals that still have the price tag from 1988 on them. $4!!!!!

On this kit the speed brake was cut out. So I added a bottom and some bulk to the brake itself. The skinny things are canopy supports from my F-4 spare box.  Simple and cost effective as I have never seen a Canuck parked on the ground without the brakes and flaps dropped.

Like the other CF-100s I just finished, this one was built for the "On Canadian wings group build".
