A Canadian service Neptune, in overall dark sea blue FS 15042 as it would have appeared in the mid to late 1950's, with CanMilAir set # 123. The reference subject was 14 Wing's static display aircraft, although it is not the current scheme.

Not the best kit in the world by any means. Fit was uhmmm, clear plastic was cloudy, and internal detail was nonexistent. Some of the warpings were difficult to correct, most noticeably in the wings.

I added cockpit detail and four weapons pylons under each wing. The end result is reasonable and makes a good addition to the display case. Just don't look too close.
