Giorgio N Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Don't know how I missed this thread before ! Great job on those corrections, maybe I should take my half-built Arrow from the loft and follow your advices... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastmcc Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 guys how do you know what version of the 1/72 kit is the second release ? .. thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 This was the original version This was the second. Identical to the first except that the Elevon actuators had been moved to the underside of the wing A completely new and much better version has been issued but I am not sure if it is available in the UK John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 A completely new and much better version has been issued but I am not sure if it is available in the UK Identifiable by pseudo-CAD drawings on the top of the box. http://www.scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=145022 Cheers, Bill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 A completely new and much better version has been issued but I am not sure if it is available in the UK John I got my new tool 1-72 Arrow form a shop in Canada (http://www.elmcityhobbies.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_278_279&products_id=2926), as there was no distributer in Europe at that time as far as I could make out. It was not really a bargain but cheaper than buying from Squadron (they also list this kit) with their ridiculous P&P prices nowadays.

John R Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 The main u/c was 'built in the air' using tubes of various diameters held together with CA. It's now to be found in Ready for Inspection http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234949577-avro-arrow-a-corrected-version-of-the-original-hobbycraft-172-kit/ I hope you think it was worth it.

John_W Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Just did a Google on the Arrow as I am woefully ignorant of this aircraft. A sad story very reminiscent of the TSR2. It seems our politicians haven't changed, looking at the saga of the overpriced aircraft carriers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 There is a nice movie about the Arrow with Dan Aykroyd. Very entertaining. A "nice" story and a very nice airplane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robvulcan Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Ah one of my all time favourites I cant wait to make one of these. IMO one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. Such a shame its got such a horrid story about it. I would have loved to see one fly.. I would love to make a Whiff RAF version too in the same scheme as it looks like a V-Bomber.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro683 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I have her big sister coming. It purports to be a new tool, i'm looking forward to seeing what the differences are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre B Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It's sad that the late Avro Arrow kit is almost impossible to find and get these days. I probably lay my hands in the next HC Sabre I see. Wonder where the HC Avro Arrow moulds are today... Cheers / André Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalako Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I have tried to build this kit in the past but, after a number of falls (not intentionally) I've decided to put it aside. Would be interesting though to see how this build will evolve!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Andre, PM sent regarding availability of a kit. I don't think that it was ever issued over here as I never saw it on Hannant's site. Maybe it was too expensive. If my (dodgy) memory is correct it would have retailed at £60. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It is always confusing when people drag years-old threads out of the darkness. If people have something new to say about a particular kit it would be much better to start a new thread in the relevant general discussion forum, in this case either Cold War or Rumourmonger, not in an antique WIP thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 I'm inclined to agree, especially if the comment is not very relevant to the actual model however, as the perpetrator, is does give me a warm glow seeing the numbers of hits it has had. I have either helped many builders or put them off from having to wrestle with it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
