1:48 Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck Mk 4

A 1:48 scale model of the legendary Canadian CF-100 Canuck Interceptor from the 1950s. 

Developed by Avro Canada during the Cold War, this heavy twin-engine jet interceptor was the backbone of the RCAF. Also affectionately known as the ‘Clunk,’ this was an all-weather interceptor designed to fend off aggressors to Canadian airspace. 692 were built, and of the Mk 4 variant, 278 were built. The only variant to serve internationally was the Mk 5, which was with the Belgian Air Force. The CF-100 first flew in 1950, was introduced to service in 1952, and retired in 1982. The CF-100 was the precursor model to the infamous Avro Arrow CF-105… the project that was shelved and destroyed before it ever came into service.

This model is an old project that I was working on in Blender years ago, and I finally finished it to be able to print it as a scale model. It is fully printable with no extra hardware required, besides glue. All of the main structures connect with connector pieces. The horizontal stabilizers and the fuselage intake piece come with breakaway supports. The length is close to 34cm full assembled, and the wingspan is around 38cm. I've designed this as a project model to be able to sand and paint later. I'll upload pictures once I've done that!

Please enjoy this model as much as I have. Any plastic material can be used to print this, and it should be able to fit on the A1 Mini as well.

**It is highly recommended to use glue to secure all parts in place. The connectors should do just fine as they are designed to be fairly tight, but glue will help the model stay 100% together.
