The Mk.4B in 3D

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as 18393, IWM Duxford’s Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck Mk.4B and the only CF-100 in a British museum, built at Malton, Ontario (c/n 293), which served with the Royal Canadian Air Force, came to Britain in 1975 for Ormond Haydon-Baillie’s collection, registered G-BCYK, and has been at Duxford ever since: Canada’s all-weather interceptor, a two-seat fighter of 49 ft 11 in span with two Avro Orenda turbojets in long nacelles hugging the fuselage at the wing roots, a straight wing, a long tandem canopy over pilot and navigator, a large radome in the nose and a tailplane set high on the fin, shown standing level on its tricycle undercarriage with the gear down, as it stood until it was hung in AirSpace: dark green and grey disruptive camouflage over silver undersides, a black radome with white and red rings, the red bat-on-a-cloud badge of 440 Squadron on the nose, ‘RCAF’, a red maple-leaf roundel and ‘393’ on the rear fuselage, a Canadian Red Ensign and ‘18393’ on the fin, a red and white chequered rudder, and ‘RCAF’ and ‘393’ under the wings (no photograph shows the upper wing, so it carries the camouflage with no roundels).
