canberra kid Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 That's the first rub down, I'll give her a dust over with some primer to see where it's gone wrong John  5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I doubt whether you've gone wrong at all John. You're just saying that to make us feel better. Tony  Ps. I like the 'widescreen' picture format you use for some of your posts, it's very sympathetic  to  the longitudinal nature of the subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Thanks Tony kind of you to say, time will tell if your faith in my kit bashing "skills" are well founded or not  As for the "wide screen shot" again you flatter me, I just crop the shot, I'm sure you don't need to see the old kitchen worktop, or, yes you're right I'm the Steven Spielberg of Brtitmodller not!!  John   Edited June 10, 2017 by canberra kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberra kid Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've not had much time again today, so all I've done is added the rain channel above the flair bay doors, made from stretched sprue. I've also given her a waft over with the grey primer and it's not looking too bad.  John   6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4u Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Coming along nicely John looking good , PM sent . Â Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Again not much time to do things, so all I've managed was to break out the black and do a wee bit of painting, all very black, but things should look more interesting with a colour wash and dry brushing.  John 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Each detail is telling John. And now I know the Canberra had a rain channel. Â Ps. Not having heard of such a feature before, I'm presuming it was to stop rainwater getting in somewhere sensitive? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The crew wardrobe. Where they kept their flairs.  (Damned predictive texas again, eh?)

Â Â This might only apply to the Navy Target Tug planes. I don't think the RAF wore flairs. But then, if they were Navy, they wouldn't need a wardrobe - they'd just stuff their trousers in a duffle bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Ok, I'm back in the saddle, after so non volatery DIY  first job up is a bit of filling, I've added some filler to the top edge of the rain channel to fair it in to the fuselage, also the unwanted lines on the flair bay doors.  John   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Just caught up with your new project, John. Looking good! Have you decided on the markings scheme yet? Â Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks Bill, this is just filling time until I grasp the nettle of my 1/48 RB.57D build. I have decided the colour scheme, it took some doing, I wanted something diferant, WE146 fit the bill nicely, she spend most of her life on R&D work ending up as the only SD.1 Stiletto launch aircraft,  Nice as she looks here, I'm not doing her in this guse, I'm going for what I hope is a more eye catching earlier scheme which will be revealed at the end of the build John       3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Glad to see you back at this one as well John, and I've now learned what the SD.1 Stiletto was, bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 God dammit John, just as I thought my list for R&D airframes was complete you throw another into the mix, where will I find the time? Lovely work as ever and very informative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) A bit of rubbing down, not looking too bad will still need a bit more, doesn't it always! I've also given my old can of Tater Mirage Blue a try out and it still works and it does, Mirage blue is one of the Halford special mix car colours and is a good match for PRU blue.  John  Edited July 8, 2017 by canberra kid Missing info 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberra kid Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 A bit more progress today, I've got the wings together, and started to fit the resin replacement baby Avon's. John   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've done a bit more work on the wings over the weekend, but I've also come to a decision, this build is going into hibernation for a while, I need  to get on with another build which I hope to get done for this years Scale Model World at Telford. I'm going to start a 1/48 RB.57D-C I'll be using the CA B.57 as the base but it will also need a lot of scratch building, that's why I'm giving myself plenty of time. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
