Avro Canada Golden Arrow F.2 ++FINISHED +++

[McColm]

Parts used from a broken 1/72 F-18 Hornet.

PSR to be done but missiles are being added from an old Saab Draken kit, I think that they are the AIM Falcons. I stand corrected if they aren't.

Drop fuel tanks semi-recessed under the wings! New stand.



A bit of putty to fill in gaps from the Airfix drop fuel tanks off the Tornado F.3 kit.

This is the build so far. Looks innocent with a pair of sidewinders, then the opposition realise that they have run out of missiles!

I repainted this build.
A shade lighter.

The Avro Canada Golden Arrow F.2 is wearing an aggressor paint scheme with some decals from Number 111 Squadron Royal Air Force. Started out as Tiger Stripes but I got a bit carried away and I ran out of brown acrylic paint.
I've made an attempt at painting a cockpit canopy to the underside which needs tidying up and a few touch-ups.

I'm calling this build finished before I go and spoil it.

Well done! That camo really disappears against the objects on the shelf in the side views.

That's pretty wild ! Big bird.
