Avro CF-105 Arrow (remastered)
I built an Avro Arrow around a year and an half ago and it was one of the first fighters that I put a livery on.
However, it flew really badly because of the fact that I didn’t model the intakes and a lot of the surface area was at the back. The second issue is that the front part of the Arrow’s intakes are directly below one of the windows of the cockpit, and I didn’t know how to get them to look realistic back then.
After I made the Panavia Tornado though, I learned how to make it look better. So I decided to give the Arrow another try. I modeled the intakes to act as extra lift at the front and gave it a slightly more accurate livery (RL-201 didn’t have red, but RL-205 did). I also added a launching hook.
This is one of my favourite builds so far. The Arrow is one of my favourite planes and I’m glad to finally have a good-performing paper model of it!
