Great eye! Why am I not surprised you saw it, though? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <br /><br />And rarer than you think: the Argus is carved (maple dowel and basswood flying surfaces) and free-hand painted... it's about 30 years old and was built by my father (as was the DC-10 behind... also free-hand painted)... all done back in the days before all those custom decals were available that we seem to be smothered in today. <br /><br />The Argus was done because it was custom to name most Air Cadet squadrons after aircraft of the RCAF/CAF/CF. The squadron I was part of (he was also involved with the squadron before my time there) was named after the Argus. Hence that and a few other Argus paraphenalia that I kept after he passed away. Odd thing is, most of my models have bit the dust over the years after a half-dozen moves and years in storage and such... his are the ones that have survived. I'm finally trying to get back into things now, though... settling back down into it. Amazing how crappy your eyes and hands get after doing nothing more than a bit of dabbling for 20 years, though. <br /><br />I'm all for that model thread! I'll post a couple of pics of the Argus (and a few others) on it if you want. I thought it might be a little off-topic in this thread, so I thought I'd hold off here. I'd love to see how your collection has been coming along. Any progress on that Saturn I? I'd love to see how that TPS turned out too!
