Ferrata Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Newly finished, here is my Airfix Canberra PR9. Not my usual subject as I don't normally build jets, or RAF for that matter, but I wanted something straightforward that I could try pre-shading on for the first time. With hindsight I think I under did it but looking at pictures of the real thing they do seem to be a bit clean so I'll go with that excuse. To be honest i'm glad it's finished as it's a big brute with too many stencils and, annoyingly, despite 3 tonnes of weight in the nose it's still a tail sitter! Anyway, I hope you like it.

It needs 3.2 tonnes. Seriously though, that's very nice indeed. My favourite Canberra version Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That has to be huge in 1/48. Little wonder it needs so much nose weight. I like how it turned out. The understated shading actually looks better than the quilted panels look some modelers go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albamac Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 A lovely looking Cranberry and the finish is great. Tail sitter it may be although you inserted humungous nose weights it doesn't detract from a handsome looking big beastie. Orra best. albamac.....
