The first release in the "1/72 scale Canadian Heritage Series" will be the legendary Avro CF-105 Arrow. The Arrow is a brand new tooling and will be of similar quality to diecast made by Hobby Master and Century Wings.

This high quality diecast replica comes factory painted with all markings pad-applied for superb results. An option to display the aircraft with wheels up or down is provided, along with a display stand. Length 13 7/8". Wing span 8 3/8". The first release (SKU# CWH001) will be painted in the markings of aircraft 25203. Limited edition run of only 3000 pieces. Available in March 2010.

Arrow 25203 first flew on 22 September, 1958 and exceeded the speed of sound on this maiden flight, sustaining a speed of Mach1.2. The exterior surfaces were painted dayglo to assist observers focusing on specific components under test. 203 was the only Arrow ever to sport the Canadian Commonwealth flag ("Red Ensign") marking on the tail. The Avro Arrow was one of the world's most advanced airplanes in its day, considered by many to be twenty years ahead of its time. Arrow 203 flew for a total of 13.5 hours of flight time before the Arrow program was cancelled by the Canadian government on 20 February 1959.
