I have found a broken 1/72 Avro Canada Arrow in the stash and using my vast array of spares I am slowly building my own version of this classic Fighter/Interceptor which for reasons that I don't understand never made it into service with any nation.

Just a quick question the back seat window; all clear glazing or just a pair of windows?

All clear, let the poor guy have a decent view.

Did that Warthog run out of BRRRRT! and KABOOM!? he's knocked the roof off with his belly. That'll leave a mark.  ;D

The two seater canopy has been glued on and some PSR work on the underneath.

As you can see the new two seater canopy changes the profile.

Saving the broken one has been a good push into creation, congratulations! :thumbsup:

Got some stuff like that laying around myself (not an Avro Arrow though).  Gives good inspiration for when I finish my Sea Harrier II+ and my Super Tomcat 21.

A new paint scheme and stand. A design change due to an upgrade in the fly-by-wire control system, its now tailless!

Trials of the Yellow Band fire control system with the new trainable forward cannon seem to be going well. The crew are simulation what it's like to fly in fog and after a nuclear explosion with the blast covers drawn.
