    You know Ya have a point. I have a friend, that always reiterates, "those Hellcats & Wildcats shot down the Japanese & Germans when there planes had real pilots in them". His quote not mine. But I kinda see where he's coming from.

    if I have my history right, AVRO Canada was Canada Car & Foundry during the war, and produced Hurricanes, Lancasters and evening Curtiss Helldivers among others. I would certainly be in for a good sized Lancaster, say 80” - 100” wingspan.
    I had to jump in and say you're almost historically right. Most Canadian manufacturing of aircraft during wartime was bought, owned and contracted by Hawker Siddeley Group of UK. Victory Aircraft, a Government owned company in Toronto, which was bought by Hawker, made Lancasters and even one Lincoln, which was a bigger Lancaster. National Steel Car of Hamilton made Avro Anson's; Hawker Hurricanes; Westland Lysanders and Handley Page bombers. Canada Car & Foundry, Thunder Bay; made Hawker Hurricanes and Curtiss Helldivers under licence. Packard USA made Merlin engines for Canadian Lancasters. Other American companies made radio equipment for British/Canadian planes. A.V.Roe or AVRO, was bought by Hawker and Victory Aircraft became AVRO Canada after the war. They built modern aircraft until '62.....

    The list of warbirds I’d like is... long. Mostly under dogs, oddballs and unsung heroes: I-16 Rata; Vickers Wellington; Bristol Beaufighter; Boulton-Paul Defiant; Grumman F4F Wildcat; XF5F Skyrocket. I could go on...
    I'm surprised at your list. I would think it'd be mostly AVRO Canada products.

    That, and those spindly struts. They must have been hard to land.

    A Westland Whirlwind would be interesting and different.
    Or some between the wars planes, like a peashooter or one of my favorites, the Bristol Bulldog. This was a 50" balsa kit I designed and built about 10-12 years ago. It flew pretty good.

    Hi Hobbyist2, wow, 2 posts in 3.5 years, thanks for coming back! That almost makes me want to produce a Twin Otter just to celebrate! What livery would you choose, if there was a Twin Otter available?

    I have always liked the Twin Otter, in both land and sea configurations. I think as a high wing twin, it would make an excellent RC model. I used to have a balsa Twin Otter by VQ, and it ran great on floats. Next to the Grumman Albatross, the Twin Otter is probably one of my favorite twin engine floatplanes.

    I'd like to see a nicely done Skyraider. Maybe with a wingspan between 1200mm and 1600mm. Also with some ordnance and fuel tanks.
