PhantomBigStu Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Not going to do it in the hemp scheme as I did the airfix as that last year, so camo or high speed silver with spare airfix decals 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Decided as the MB isn't that accurate for a later PR9 going to go with the silver early one, nice quick build Hopefully can start it later. now do i order a halifax from kingkit or not....

PhantomBigStu Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 much simpler build than the airfix, ready to go for priming 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 You certainly don’t muck around Stu!! She looks great and an obvious candidate for a quick build. If I recall, you said that you’ll be painting this Canberra Silver? Do yourself a favour a buy a can of Tamiya AS-12 Airframe Silver. I normally decant mine, however this stuff behaves itself really well straight out of the rattle can. Once you’ve used it, you’ll never brush paint silver again. Cheers.. Dave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Going to be a camo bird now, the sanding job has made me give up on it so after the next rounded will be reprimed to be brush painted. Sure I can scatch the aerials and RWR cone to make it accurate Edited October 26, 2017 by PhantomBigStu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Looking the goods Stu.. almost Gallery material. Cheers.. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Decided to not modify it with accurate aerials, not in the spirit of the build, and will on the future replace the build with an airfix b8 anyway but it's ready for decalling I think. Apologies for the big gap in time, stuffed up painting the camo overlap and had to strip in back to the silver, sand prime it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Don’t fret Stu. Long before you were born PR.9’s were painted in camouflage and had red and blue roundels without all those extra antennas as Revell show on their box art and instructions. She’ll be fairly accurate for a mid seventies machine. All this extra stuff was added towards the late 70’s and into the 80’s and 90’s. Cheers..

Dave Yep looked up photos of the real thing and quite possible if I use the standard sqn badges included it might be accurate. Anyway will be done soon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
