Avro Arrow In Canadian Service

[chadders]

I've been asked to post some pictures on here that were originally posted on the ARC site, as they may be of intereset to you.
    This is the Hobbycraft Avro Arrow in 1:72nd scale. Its built out of the box with main decals from the Xtradecal TSR-2 sheet and stencils from various spares sheets. The recon pod came from SAM Publications and was meant for the TSR-2, but i just trimmed it to fit and fitted it backwards......














Hope you like 'em, mARK

Welcome aboard Mark! That Arrow of yours is some truly impressive work! I know I speak for many here when I say I'm looking forward to seeing more of your builds!

Now where's my mudpies?

[Brian da Basher]

I've seen that fantastic TSR.2 before and was very impressed. Mark, that's a terrific model and it's a treat for me to congratulate you on your fine achievement in person.

Why thankyou Brian, praise indeed  .
   The TSR-2 came about by accident as it was a kit that went badly wrong, but instead of binning it, I just let my mind wander.
    The Arrow, was built simply because my wife is seriously ill in hospital and I wanted something to keep my mind occupied. It was started last Sunday and finnished on Friday. Thats one of the great things about insomnia......you can get a lot of work done, although I must get a quieter compressor if I'm going to do any more spraying at 4.30 in the morning

The recon pod came from SAM Publications and was meant for the TSR-2, but i just trimmed it to fit and fitted it backwards......I've only just noticed that little gem!!

Well, we Canadians are an unconventional lot, and as long as we can hide beer in it we don't care how it goes on the plane. Thanks for bringing it over!

Thoughts and prayers to your wife and yourself, Mark. Hope all is well soon !

Beautiful models...the Arrow is simply wicked ! I think it might be the nicest Arrow I've seen ! Awesome. Lovely job on the big .2 as well. I'd like to see a few pics of the underside of that one.

keep 'em coming !

I remember seeing that TSR.2  a while back-absolutely stunning!!

As for the Arrow...well there aren't many on this board who go in for Canadian stuff   , but I certainly love it!!  

Best wishes for your wife's speedy recovery!

Great job on both aircraft.  They look simply awesome!  I especially like the paint scheme and changes you made to the Arrow.
