Hypersonic Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Here is my first post. I made loads of little mistakes but then again that's modelling. The Decals are Model Alliance and the cockpit has Eduard coloured photo etch. There are almost no reference photos of this aircraft on the web so its really a shot in the dark. Now for the 15 hour bus journey from southern Ireland to Telford ! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcclure Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Never did a model deserve the adjective "striking" more! That's a real pleasure to look at. Cheers, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.o Prune Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I've always been amazed by the Canberra with the cockpit pushed over to the side. It makes it look weird somehow. It's a great built, only problem I have is that it looks as if the ailerons are moved in the same direction. Shouldn't one be in the up and the other in the down position?

goon Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 That's just lovely. I'll look out for it tomorrow, should be easy enough to spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri48 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm not a Canberra fan, but that is definitely a striking model and certainly grabs the attention. Hope your trip to SMW is enjoyable, bus trip included. I've always been amazed by the Canberra with the cockpit pushed over to the side. It makes it look weird somehow. It's a great built, only problem I have is that it looks as if the ailerons are moved in the same direction. Shouldn't one be in the up and the other in the down position? I'm always puzzled by this observation "Up or Down". If an aircraft is parked and all the systems turned off including the hydraulics I assume everything drops or is that not the case. If so (not the case) what keeps one up and the other down? Assuming Hydraulic cylinders are involve and not screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafrobbo Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Very striking, I'll keep my eye out for it tomorrow. Did you do any mods/ scratch building to convert to a tug or is it standard airframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 My word, that's bright!! Very cool, great model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypersonic Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thank you everyone, but unfortunately I can't bring it with me. The only evidence of the model at the show will be the splattered orange on my nice white runners, so keep your eyes peeled for my feet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
