CC&F Goblin Mk.I is a rarely encountered subject in scale modeling. This experimental Canadian fighter was designed as a light and economical interceptor aircraft. Although only a single flying prototype was built, the Goblin Mk.I is an important example of Canadian aviation innovation in the interwar period. It underwent testing in 1938, but did not enter mass production, yielding to more technologically advanced designs just before World War II. The model perfectly captures the aircraft’s distinctive silhouette, featuring an open cockpit and fixed undercarriage, making it a treat for fans of unusual projects from this era.

Product advantages: Well-fitting, finely detailed parts, clear assembly instructions, and the option to create authentic historical paint schemes. The model offers an ideal balance between a challenge for the modeler and the satisfaction of assembling a rare aircraft by hand. It is a great choice for collectors of peacetime aircraft from before World War II as well as modelers who appreciate lesser-known aviation designs.

Recommendation: We recommend the Special Hobby 72238 CC&F Goblin Mk.I (1/72) kit to anyone wishing to expand their collection with exotic interwar aircraft designs, as well as to intermediate modelers looking for an unusual challenge.
