Avro Cannock F.A.W mk2

chrisonord · February 13, 2021, 01:46:48 PM

What if competitor to the Gloster Javelin in service circa 1960. Originally designed to carry 2 Red Hebe or red Dean missiles on the wing tips, but the missiles were cancelled. Avionics are carried in the pods on the wing tips instead of the missile pylons. Four firestreak missiles can be carried on the mk2 or 2 missiles and 2 long range tanks. Two 30 mm cannons can be added onto the fuselage in a streamlined gondola, behind the front landing gear .

Not too far off the real world CF-103 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_CF-103).

The Cf-103 did inspire this build when I was looking for things to do with the Canuck.

They are 1/48th scale F-16 wings kit and the tail wings are plastic card. Cheers.

I am telling fibs, I have just realised that the wings are kitech mig-25 wings in1/72nd scale, not the F-16 wings. Those are still in the bits box

Oops
Chris

Now we're talkin' ! That looks great Chris ! Can you take more pics of it with a better background ? Like a solid colour ? I'd like to edit it, but it will be hard with all of the clutter.

Cheers !
