Did a little more work today. The master file is getting BIG. I created proper numerals and the Mark 2 radome. Accordingly, here is a draft rendition of 10732 as I saw her in 1979 in my hometown of Summerside PEI. This aircraft served with VP415 from about 1961 thru to 1981 and is a CP-107, Mark 2. The key spotting feature of the Mark 2 Argus is the smaller chin radome housing the ASV-21 radar system. Aircraft serials in the 10723 thru 10742 series were all Mark 2 aircraft. The Mark 1 (depicted below) sported the larger chin radome to house the APS-20 radar. Those aircraft were numbered in the 10710 through 10722 series. More little details are now being added to the aircraft (various antennae, nose bubble details, bomb bay door lines, etc). Keep watching!
