Before


After

Story:

CF-105D RF RECON ARROW circa Desert Storm.  The CF-105D RF was the last of the Arrow Family of fighters.  While officialy retired before the Canadian Peacekeepers were sent to Kosovo, many of the Reconaissance squadrons in the CAF had still not changed over to the F-18 Hornet.  Basically, the Arrow had to soldier on for a few more years.


I am thinking of adding more "teeth" to the Recon Arrow.

our sarnian ambassador is going to have a proper gripper when he sees it, as are many of the other canuckistanian delegates.

In a few minutes you might hear a very loud scream coming from the direction of Toronto.

Don't panic, it's just me stepping in to a very cold shower.

Hell of a way to comeback Dragon. Very nice looking Arrow.

Very nice model in an attractive scheme.  Definitely looks better than the only official drawings I've seen of a canard installation on the Arrow.
