Looks very nice. I have the same kit in my stash with some aftermarket sets. Actually considering it for the interceptor campaign.

Thanks for sharing

Joe,
A rock solid build for sure. Your NMF is well done, and your home made decals really do look perfect, certainly as good as the kit ones.

The CF-100 is a aircraft model that I can't ever remember seeing before.

@ Jesper....Thank you for your kind comments.

By the way, who makes any AM for this kit?


@ Joel...Once again, Thank You for your kind comments.

Well there are not may kits of the CF 100.
The Hobbycraft Mk 4 and 5 in 1:48 and 1:72 and of course
the ancient Aurora one.

And you will be seeing one more soon...working on a Mk4
with short wings, in NATO camo, for the same client.
Will be posting pics soon.

PS I am not too familiar with aircraft terms, what is NMF?

Thanks again,

Cheers,
Joe

It's modeller-speak for Natural Metal Finish; once considered the bugbear for aircraft modellers given the level of difficulty it presented. Such paints as Alclad and similar finishes have made it much easier to accomplish compared to the Bad Olde Days.

Nicely finished, beautiful in fact.

And good to see some pilots and wheels up, how aeroplanes should be.
