Excellent finish John. I've seen the nose section of the 105 at the Canadian AF Museum. I wonder what could have been

John, that is a really terrific finish!

Turned out great John! interesting canopy arrangement. Boy she sits high - was there a reason for that?
Thanks,
John

Man that turned out beautifully! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: I knew that the Arrow was big, but seeing it next to a Voodoo, I didn’t realize how big. The Voodoo is plenty large on its own. Very interesting design for the sideways opening canopy clamshells… :hmm: What a lovely machine!

Thanks, everyone. It's got it's flaws as usual but it fills a "necessary" niche for me.

The tall stance might be because of the high angle of attach a delta planform needs for takeoff and landing, there is a lot of tail behind that main gear. Maybe they just did it cause it looks cool, eh?
