AVRO Canada CF-105 Arrow

The 3D printed parts come well protected in their cage. 

Was going to add some extra card to get a more sharp edge on the intake but decided against it. 

 

Mandatory coat of Mr Surfacer to hide the 3D printing marks, not as bad as the XF-108 from Beaver Corp. Cover up some of the other blemish's as well 

Major parts attached and another whiter primer coat to prepare for the final white paint job. 

 

Put on the color highlights. The white Vallejo is taking days to totally dry (still has that wet slightly tacky feel) which is making it problematic when trying to do more work. Maybe because Winter has come early here in Tasmania ? Might try and find a place near the heater to see if I can get the paint to dry off before I can try some clear coat. The Zero I'm doing in Tamiya XF paints are not having this problem. 

Some red leaked under my less than perfect masking, bugger ! It's a pain to make disappear with white paint.  

 

Doing a An-225 and Buran in 1/700 as a filler during all the waiting between other 2 main projects on the go at the moment. 

 

Decals are done, need to decide if some oil wash weathering is needed. Used AK's Gauzy gloss coat which went on pretty well (lot's of light coats before a nice wet coat to finish) 

 

Still need to do the canopy. 

 

 

 

 

Finished the An-225/Buran as well 

Final decals and canopy completed to finish this one.
