CT-114 (CL-41) Snowbirds (by Dave Winfield) Build

Greetings folks,

This thread is dedicated to my build of Dave Winfield's superb 1:33, Canadair CL-41 (RCAF CT-114) model in the Snowbirds livery.

This will be a slow build, as I don't typically get a lot of free time to work on papercrafting; but I will do my best to work on it on a regular basis. Hopefully, I'll manage to post updates of the build progress regularly also.

I started the build in early February. I started by printing and clearcoating all the sheets and laminating internal formers to double thickness heavy card.

The picture below shows the internal formers for the fuselage cut out and mostly ready for use, along with first couple of sections of the fuselage being assembled.



This is the epoxy nosecone mold after initial removal of the cardstock.



Final shaping of the nosecone requires a lot of extra work; but more on that later.

For this build, I decided to use a glue that I've never worked with before. I usually use common white PVA glue; but this time, I'm using Tombow Mono Aqua. So far, I really like this glue.



More to come soon.
