I have done one of these in the kit markings/cam scheme. Excellent kit and the only act in town as far as I know. I have another that I will build when I decide on the colour scheme. Rigging will be a challenge. Legend has it that when they wanted to check out the rigging after an overhaul, they would fly out over the Georgia Strait, find a flock of seagulls and fly at it. If one gull got through, there must be a wire missing. Colour schemes: RAF/RCAF: NMF/Aluminum dope or overall cam Queen Charlotte Airlines: They operated four in two interesting schemes. One is black with yellow trim (only one aircraft in that scheme, Skeena Queen). The other is NMF/Aluminum dope with black and yellow speed stripes, trim, etc. There are decals available for this one. We have recently found a photo that shows a couple of RCAF Strans with the late-war RAF scheme of white unders and sides and grey/green uppersurfaces. I have quite a few photos of Strans. Feel free to contact me by e-mail. If you know of any source for additional kits, let me know. Cheers, Doc H

it's not horrible, the wings are just racked. the paint was good.
