Airfix 1/48 Canberra panel lines and scale drawings

[Thomas from ARC]

Dear all,

 

IIRC, the panel lines of the Airfix 1/48 Canberra kit are not correct in some areas. Are there drawings available to correct this issue by rescribing?

 

Many thanks,

 

Thomas

Yes, @canberra kid runs the Canberra SIG site, there are some superb drawings and photos on there that will help you.

For some reason I can't open and link to it at the moment though.

Hi Thomas

 

If as James says you go to my site and have a look around there is quite a lot of info. If you take a look at this build I did it will give you a good idea of what needs adding or taking away, A B.2 for uncle Sam as the TT.18 is a derivative of the B.2 much of what I did is applicable. There are some small differences, but nothing too big.

For anything Canberra related John's Canberra SIG site is a must - everything that you'll need is there!

Many of the fuselage skin joints on Canberras are all but invisible, especially on gloss finished camouflaged examples.  Wing panel joints tend to be more obvious (go and have a look at the “Canberrav TT. 18 questions” thread for a super photo or two.

She was a very smooth airframe, less so in her latter days. but aren't we all like that
