Thanks Tailcreek_flyer, I will probably design a R/C RV-7 in the futur.. The hardest task in designing scale R/C aircraft was to find accurate documentation. I will don't have too much problem for that if I doo a RV-7 !!

I have already a lot of project on my list. Right now I work on a DHC-2 Beaver of 144" to use a Moki radial engine. I have also a lot of request to increase my 80" Bombardier CL-415 to a wing span of 120"... I have very few spare time to draw new design because it's not my main job, and on the evening/week-end, I prefer now to work on the real RV...

" I found pictures for the CF105 Starfighter and CF104 Voodoo but have yet to turn up the trio formation."

Actually the Starfighter is CF104 and Voodoo is CF101. CF 105 was the Arrow.

Default RCAF

Here are a few pics that I have. There not all for a polished look, but a trainer look as well:







And my favourite, which I'm leaning towards:

I really like the City of Winnipeg Mustang one. That's got to be my favorite Mustang paint jobs.

I've always liked the Harvard trainer colours too, but I can't really see it on a RV-8.

Very nice pics of the RCAF jet Don !!

See this RV-7 with the Mustang "City of Winnipeg" paint.

I have one problem with my RCAF paint idea..... my wife doesn't like the red color... She always want it in blue... I still want a Canadian military look, but I don't find anything. So, I finaly create something like that :

Anyway, with the fuselage only 50% done, i'm far to start to paint !

Default Older RCAF..

No red here but still authentically Canadian, or at least pre-war RCAF.
