It may interest people to note that one of this kit's subjects is a museum aircraft in British Columbia.
18138 was flown by 440 and 445 Squadrons while operational, then converted to a Mk. 3D Dual control trainer and trnasferred to No. 3 OTU. After its RCAF service ended in 1963, it was donated to the British Columbia Institute of Technology and used for many years to teach jet engine mechanics. In 1987 it was donated to the Canadian Museum of Flight. It remains on display at Langley airport, just east of Vancouver.
