Wonderfully neat!  :thumbsup:

The Arrow's an odd looking thing: big thin wing, huge intakes, small windows and tiny wheels!

I would like to arm it but couldn't find any pylons. One day.


Oh, I know, I know...
Whatever.

Size - as seen in The Rat's quote with my shelf, it's just a bit bigger than a Foxbat (top shelf).

For my Super Arrow project, I've used the fuselage of a Mig.31 including the air intakes which were made a bit smaller in area and has the nose cone re-profiled to look more Arrow like. I think I have a thread here somewhere ----
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

A kind benefactor at another forum has offered some pylons and weapons, so expect an update in the New Year!

The U-2's the Powers one. There's actually a few R/W bits there...

;D I see what you did there! Not sure if I could build nine of them though... :banghead:

Well, considering the size of the thing you wouldn't need to build nine, just the one would do.... ;D
Although this of course would bring some limitations to the Reds actual display.
One could see that formation changes wouldn't be so obvious :rolleyes:
And as for the synchro pair..... I think we're going to struggle a bit there :unsure:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks
