hillstar Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi,just finished this last sunday. It is the Revell Canberra B(I)8, build straight out of the box. It has almost no details, the cockpit is empty. I placed some weights inside, but it is still a tailsitter. But I finally built that kit, after having it on my stock for quite some years. The aircraft shown here represents a BAC Canberra B(I)8 from the No. 14 Squadron of the Royal Airforce Germany, based in Wildenrath around 1963. Here are some pictures, I hope you like it. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I like that a lot, don't see many Canberras built but even fewer B(I)8's. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Beautiful Canberra, well done. Did you have maybe wheel chocks to glue behind the main wheels ? Did see this on another great build here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I think that's the old Frog mould and it's still one of my favourite Canberra kits. Lovely job on it. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Great looking Canberra and a great finish. This kit hold up pretty well in my opinion. I think Frog got the shape right whereas the Matchbox PR9 looks a bit emaciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
