Avro CF-105 Arrow 1/72 Die Cast Model
"201"
Item #: CWH003
A technical and aerodynamic tour de force from the Canadian aviation industry, the delta-winged CF-105 interceptor held the promise of Mach 2 speeds at altitudes exceeding 50,000 feet, but the Arrow program was abruptly and controversially halted in 1959. The second release in the new Canadian Heritage Series of aircraft produced by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, this limited edition, 1/72 scale, die cast model of that iconic CF-105 is a real beauty.



Replicating the first of five Arrows produced and tested before the program was cancelled (this aircraft was rolled out on October 4, 1957, but was overshadowed by the launch of Sputnik the same day), this model features a detailed, two-seat cockpit with an opening canopy; realistic air intakes and engine exhausts; optional-position air brakes and landing gear; and an authentic paint scheme. It’s so complete, you even get a boarding ladder! 13¾” long; includes a display stand.

I have the first release. RL 203 with the dayglo orange paint.

Very nice model, and pretty large.It certainly makes its presence felt. Lots of rumours that HM actually did the model for Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Not sure, but it has HM quality.

This second release is of RL 201, with an all white scheme. Apparently the tooling is being "semi retired", which means no more Arrows for a while, if at all. I would highly recommend this model, as it certainly adds some "speed" to any display.

Here is RL 201,

HM did the model for them.
i spoke with HM directly

AMERICAN_GRENADIER:

I've always heard HM made the CF-105, but I found this on another board in which Al, from Canadian Heritage, denies HM's involvement----scroll down to the the post with the CF-105 photos on it.

However, the CF-105's stand looks like HM, so I'm wondering why it's such a big deal as to who made it. One poster said Multitech HK made it.

i geuss it really doesnt matter. i dont understand the issue. maybe they wish to set themselves apart. but i know where i buy them from and what the shipping boxes look like. i think it a case of splitting hairs

AMERICAN_GRENADIER:

I'm thinking of getting the new version.

Because it doesn't come with 2 pilot figures, I think the CF-105 is made by JSI.

i think your right!
