For several years
I've had an awesome time building models for my friend Reg Clarke. Both of us
are Canadian Air Force types, just separated by a few decades. The neat thing is
the aircraft types he has personal experience with, from the 50's to the 70's.
My experiences only started in 1977, the year I moved to the training base
at Moose Jaw, Sask at age 7. THAT's when I decided I wanted to work on planes! I
musta spent more time lookin up than lookin where I was goin!

Most models are the
standard fare, typical of what was seen on the flightlines of the old
days. Reg has a special place for the Search and Rescue branch, but his
real passion is the Lockheed Neptune. Funny thing, I got to work on the
real thing at the museum in Greenwood, Nova Scotia!
Hope you enjoy
looking at these pics. I enjoyed building them- for the most part. That DHC-3
Otter on floats really tested my tolerance.
