Description
The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow was a delta-wing interceptor aircraft, designed and built by Avro Aircraft Limited (Canada) in Malton, Ontario, Canada, as the culmination of a design study that began in 1953. Considered to be both an advanced technical and aerodynamic achievement for the Canadian aviation industry, the CF-105 held the promise of Mach 2 speeds at 50,000 ft+ altitude, and was intended to serve as the Royal Canadian Air Force's interceptor for the 1960s and beyond.Following the start of its flight test program in 1958, the Arrow, and its accompanying Orenda Iroquois jet engine program, were abruptly cancelled in 1959,[1][2] sparking a long and bitter political debate. The Arrow is still the subject of controversy, almost 50 years after it was cancelled.
this is what i think it look like if it actually wit in operation

Hello!
My grandpa worked on the CF-105 before he lost his job due to the bankrupting of Avro Canada.
With your permission, I would like to use this livery on a radio control build of an Avro Arrow. I would like to build one that was not in test colors. I instantly thought of this livery, using traditional RAF or RCAF colors, and perhaps some custom markings.
I would like to offer you the chance to see your artwork fly.
Thank you,
Logan

A beautiful job, bagera. Well done indeed.
Just a couple quick criticisms:
If you are going to use the modern-day Canadian roundel, the old Canadian fin flash has to be changed to the Maple Leaf flag; that was introduced when the new National Flag was brought out in the 1960s.
Also, the WP and the tail number on the fin are actually how American Air Force aircraft are marked. Canadian aircraft have their tail numbers under the flag on the fin. And the number itself starts with the model number, plus a 2-to-3 digit hull number, i.e. "105345" in this aircraft's case.
Other than that, it's perfect!

Wonderful!
Matter of fact, if you want to see good Air Force markings on an Arrow, go here:

I'm curious if it could actually carry things to space as "The Arrow" movie mentioned or if it was just one of those random ideas. Either way this is one cool bird that I wish never went canceled.
Always wanted this bird to be reborn in a new modern look.

That was very good detail, although the white one is more suitable for daylight high-altitude interception of former soviet bomber, because it can blend in the clouds

Yes, but on the ground it would become very noticeable to Soviet- well, anything.

One speculation I heard is that the project compromised by Soviet spy who stole the technical details to be used in MiG 25 project.
