Monogram 1:48 scale Sopwith Camel kit No. 5204, a 1979 release of the original 1956 Aurora Sopwith Camel kit No. 102-69.
This model depicts Sopwith F.1 Camel serial number B7270, flown by Canadian born RAF pilot and ace Captain Arthur Roy Brown.
On April 21, 1918, Roy Brown engaged Manfred von Richthofen, the 'Red Baron' near Vaux-sur-Somme, France. Although Brown was credited with shooting down Richthofen, it is also widely believed that ground gunfire was actually responsible for the Red Baron's death.

Hornet J-5011 of fighter squadron 11, "Tigers" of the Swiss Air Force.
This model in scale 1:32 is based on the excellent Canadian CF-18 by Ryan Harris, whose building instructions I bought to create my Swiss version of a Hornet.
Like the Canadian CF-18s, the Swiss F/A-18s feature a search light on the left side of the fuselage in front of the cockpit. All the working features of Ryan's model can be found on my Hornet as well:
- Opening canopy
- Movable flaps, ailerons and elevators
- Deployable airbrake
- Lowering arrestor hook
- Stowable landing gear with working doors
After I built an initial version following the building instructions, I made quite some changes to Ryan's design to incorporate some more features and better represent the Swiss version of the F/A-18C. Changes I made include:
- All grey color scheme
- Complete redesign of the wings to incorporate folding wing tips
- Section in front of the cockpit features IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) antennae and a deployable refuelling probe
- Radar warning antennas behind the cockpit
- More detailed engine nozzles
- Extended starter rails and different armament
- Smaller details all around
My model represents the plane of the squadron leader of "Fliegerstaffel 11" or fighter squadron 11 with the immatriculation J-5011. The latter one is shortened to 011 on the forward fuselage.
Squadron 11 call themselves "Tigers" and so it is quite obvious that they regularly participate in the NATO Tiger Meet. The livery on the model shows the design of the 2011 edition of the Tiger Meet. The decals are from a supplier of waterslide decals for plastic models and are perfect to scale in 1:32.
The Hornet is shown in a typical configuration for air police service. The armament consists of a 20 mm M61A1 gatling gun, 2 AIM-9X Sidewinders on the wing tips and 2 AIM-120B AMRAAMs on the fuselage hardpoints. Furthermore a centerline fuel tank is carried which shows the standby frequency of 121.50 MHz.
The display base represents a section of taxi way, leading to runway 28 of the Meiringen air base, which is homebase to squadron 11.

The plane that I was most excited to see fly at the airshow this year! A restored Mikoyan Mig-17 Fresco flying during the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was unique to see this Cold War era jet. The Mig-17 was actually the most feared fighter plane for a time. No NATO fighters were able to beat it until the F4 Phantom II entered service in the 1960s. It was still cool to see and just as intimidating as it was back in it's prime.
Taken in Pensacola, Florida, USA at the National Museum of Naval Aviation. The F4F Wildcat was a carrier-based fighter used by the US Navy in WWII. It was introduced in 1940 by Grumman.

Focke-Wulf FW190 A-8.
Known as the 'Butcher Bird', the FW190 was arguably one of the best fighter planes of WWII and well-liked by its pilots. The Butcher Bird quickly proved superior in all but turn radius to the Spitfire Mk. V, especially at low to medium altitudes and maintained air superiority over Allied fighters until the introduction of the Spitfire Mk IX
The Singpenny is a triplane, with a single 14mm air cooled, prop regulated, machine gun.
While slower than a mono or bi plane, it's also more maneuverable, which lends itself well in dogfights. Its increased lifting capacity from its three wings also allows it to carry more fuel, giving it a longer range.
Since I won the tech auction it doesn't have a ton of fighter work to do, so it takes advantage of its long operating range to act as a recon plane, or ground attack plane for anti infantry.

The RCAF CF-18 Hornet demo during the 2023 Abbotsford Airshow. The Cf-18s are now due to be replaced by the new CF-35 Lightnings by 2027 making this years airshow one of the last few times that they'll be at Abbotsford. It'll be sad to see them go when they're finally retired.
Replica of the P-47 Thunderbolt, located in the Chennault Museum, Monroe, LA.
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt is a World War II-era fighter aircraft produced by the American aerospace company Republic Aviation from 1941 through 1945. Its primary armament was eight .50-caliber machine guns, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack role it could carry five-inch rockets or a bomb load of 2,500 lb. Wikipedia
