Some Hobby Craft 1/48 Tutors. Now, there are some issues with Hobby Craft we all know such as lack of detail and often just plain errors. However if you want to make a 1/48 Tutor (or 1/72) they are the only game in town. Unless you can find the next to impossible to locate resin kit from Belcher Bits. I for one am happy Hobby Craft came along otherwise there would be a big shortage of Canadian airframes out there.

These kits are part of a large commission build I am involved in right now. The orange one is built as they first appeared back in 1960. The white is the first Snowbirds scheme back in 1972. The silver is the way this plane was used most often. As a basic trainer.

Even if the real plane has been around for over 50 years now its still in use by the Snowbirds, with no replacement in site, any time soon if ever.
