Title: Unnamed Avro Canada COIN
Post by: rallymodeller on January 27, 2009, 04:41:06 PM
The COIN thing was basically my idea. I'm a moderator. I'm always going on about the CF-100. So I figured I'd better put up or shut up.

Therefore, I present: the as-yet-unnamed Avro Canada C-110 trainer/COIN!

It uses the rear fuselage, engines and tail from the unbelievably inaccurate Hobbycraft Su-25 Frogfoot, the wings from a 1/72 CF-100 Mk.5, and the nose from an Academy OV-1D. Putty next. Eugh.

Coming along nicely. A little touch-up, and then on to paint.

Interesting.  This looks like something the Russki's copied to make their SU-25 Frogfoot.
