TVAL(sorry folks TVAT) at Canada's Bramton hangar) seems to be burning the midnight oil. One prolific photographer is capturing the build and posting on his website. With his permission here are some of the images.

The aircraft it being built to represent A machine flown post war in Canada by Major Raymond Barker.
Word has it that one decal manufacturer wants to do a set of Barker's machines in a set aftermarket decals for the WNW 1:32 Snipe & Fokker D.VII.

I see that they're going to do it with the very obscure Japanese closed cockpit option.

I don't think this is a TVAL build. The website says "The Vintage Aviation Team’s hangar at Brampton, Ontario"

Definately in Canada: Note the Flag on the wall of the hangar, the a/c Registration in the background starts with C and the web site states it is. It will be fun to see this a/c being built, just like the model.
