here is the link to the pic that I used. This is only the first version so expect some changes to be made. I would like to rework the air intake quite a bit as well as add landing gear and all of the armaments to the wings. Feedback is welcome. Happy Building!

A second RCAF CF-18 Hornet performing the CF-18 Demo in the evening show of the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow. It cool seeing the demo at night, the Hornet's afterburners could be fully seen. It was a loud demo too, the pilot didn't hold back.

RIAT 2023 Sunday display from the Royal Air Force's Typhoon Display team. Featuring the paint job, which they call Black Jack.
A USAF F35 Lightning II performing during the Lightning demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was an awesome demo, it was cut short however due to technical problems. A warning light came on and the pilot had to land. That said she put on a good show, didn't hold back, and she nearly broke the sound barrier.

A Canadair MK-6. V Sabre (Serial # 23649) in Brockville, Ontario, Canada, along the St. Lawrence River.
More popularly known as the Golden Hawks Sabre Jet, this single-engine jet fighter was designed by North American Aviation Inc. and produced in Canada by Canadair Ltd. between 1950 and 1958 and was first flown on October 1, 1947.
It became the dominant Western fighter aircraft in the early 1950s and was used by the U.S. Air Force in Korea against MiG-15s. It also served with the RCAF in Europe in its commitment to NATO. It reached supersonic speeds in dives - first achieved in Canada by test pilot Al Lilly, in 1950 when he broke the sound barrier. They were flown by the RCAF's Golden Hawks aerobatic team from 1959 to 1964.
I spotted this little brass Spitfire model (wingspan just under 6 inches) lying in the bottom of a cabinet in a second hand shop. It had no stand and no propeller but its proportions looked so good that I bought it.
I have made a stand from some left over timber and a long bolt that fitted the socket on the underside. I ordered a Perspex disc to replace the missing propeller and have temporarily used an upholstery tack to hold that in place until I find something that suits it better.
Work in progress.
Nadiya Savchenko has fought for a career as a pilot with the Ukrainian Armed Forces. After being refused entry into the Kharkiv Air Force University in 1998, she entered the Armed Forces and served as a radio operator and a landing forces soldier. She reapplied to the Air Force University after six years and learned that a special authorization from the Defense Minister was necessary. In the end, Nadiya graduated from the Air Force University and became a pilot.
Until recently, a career for women in the army was limited. Now the Ukrainian Minister of Defense has an adviser on gender issues who is responsible for ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men in the Ukrainian military, and in 2010 the Minister introduced two orders removing restrictions for women to hold managerial positions in the Ukrainian military.
UNDP plays an instrumental role in supporting gender equality principles in Ukraine.

Val-Halla, a restored P51 Mustang, flying at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was supposed to be taking part in the USAF Heritage Flyover alongside the F35 Lightning II but the F35 hand to land due to technical problems so Val-Halla flew on it's own while the RCAF Snowbirds prepared for their performance. Val-Halla was named for both it's pilots Bill Anders wife Valerie and for the Black Knights P51 squadron that was stationed at Keflavik, Iceland during the Cold War.
