WESTLAND WAPITI IIA

“This build explores the operational adaptations of a Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft in extreme environments, reconstructed in 1/32 scale with archival precision.”

This 1/32 scale Lukgraph model has been reconfigured to represent a Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft, featuring custom-built skis fabricated from scratch to replace the original landing gear.

Logistical equipment was added to the bomb racks, based on archival photographs of the actual aircraft. To enrich the narrative and setting, a 1/32 scale British TR.Model H motorcycle from Copper State Models was incorporated into a frozen lake scene, inspired by imagery published in Kestrel Aerospace Profiles by T.F.J. Leversedge.

Every ski, every insignia, every shadow — the Wapiti IIA rebuilt with historical reverence Chema M.

Scale modeling with soul—focused on WWI aircraft and the craft behind every build.
