TCA Vanguard CF-TKD
The Airfix kit complete with 3 broken props, of course
Luckily, I have a set of Aeroclub "fans" for the kit. Also a nice set of Thunderbird decals
Alclad black base coat for the metal finish.
Polished Aluminum finished.
White base coat for the fuselage.
Gloss White upper and Gray lower fuselage painted.
Finished model with decals in place.
Sitting on it's landing gear, looks very good.
Ready to go to it's new owner.

Alex KWatching. Seems that this has also a personal link and ties up with the two Dart Herald builds...

Norm SheppardMy friend Norm Murnaghan was 17 when his father Ray died in the Eastern Provincial Airways Dart Herald crash, he became an airline pilot himself and flew with TCA and Air Canada and is now retried. I have done several models for him.

JohnInteresting subject and historical tie-in - great job so far. To me, the Vanguard looks like a mash-up of a propeller and jet aircraft - the fuselage of a jet and the wing of a C-54. Very cool indeed.
