Final product photos HA4305 Sabre Mk.6 "Bluenose" Squadron RCAF.

Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA4305 Canadair Sabre Mk.6 23707, 434 "Bluenose" Squadron, RCAF, 1950s.

At one point during WWII the RCAF 434 Squadron flew Halifax bombers and was adopted by the Rotary Club of Halifax, Nova Scotia so the 434rd used the nickname “Blue Nose” referring to the famous schooner of the same name. 

After WWII the squadron was disbanded at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada on September 5, 1945 but on July 1, 1952 reformed at Uplands, Ontario with Canadair F-86 Sabres. In 1953 the 434 transferred to Zweibrucken, Germany flying the F-86 until January 1963 before switching to the CF-104.
