Very good! How was the kit quality?

Dave Burgess
Surface detail was fine; cockpit left a bit to be desired. The wings had a tendency to warp down at the tips, I think due to the way the kit was designed. The lower wing half does not go right to the end. The tip of the lower wing is molded to the upper half, and the lower half fits into one of the panel lines. When the glue starts to set, it pulls the tip of the upper wings I had to aggresively heat and bend the wing tips up to remove the warp, and was not entirely successful. Some of the decals were a bit fragile.

Nice and rare sight 👍

Nice looking Clunk, Dave. My father flew the CF-100 a couple of times with the Test and Acceptance flight, said when the gear comes up, whole airframe shook!

Dave Burgess
I believe that's where the nickname for the CF-100 came from: the sound of the gear retracting.

Pics have been re-taken after I realized I'd installed the forward landing gear back-to-front, and corrected it.

I see you renamed her. Any specific connections to this name?

Tcamp
Ypu know most builds are of the gato 212 i wanted to pay homage to those that gave ultimate sacrifice i never heard of the albacore before found it researching she hit a mine and lost with all hands. But on that same patrol she sunk a carrier. So anyway i had the numbers they are out of scale and in actuality would not be on the bow during patrol but they tie the kit to the nameplate. For me when the styrene scales tip they tip on the side of artistic licsense ( lol).
Anyway thats how that came to be. I wanted something different.

She was located not too long ago by japanese research team its on you tube

I always like when a modeller 'makes it their own'
The Albacore is looking great.
How will you display her?
