Very good! How was the kit quality?

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 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!

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