I’ve decided on A84-215 around 1962. This aircraft was with 1 (B) OCU at that time in that paint scheme. In 1963 it got the first camo and later transferred to another squadron.

I want the best of both worlds! The unique bomb rack configuration but something other than the green and grey.

I have been on your website. Fantastic resource! I came across it when I was doing a B(I)8 and have been using your site for reference since. Great job! wrt the B 20 I may just use a different serial number as I really do want to hang the wingtip bomb racks.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m doing an Airfix 1/48 B20. The serial they’ve got is A84-205. From research 205 was converted to Mk 21 in 1958-59 long before it was assigned to 1 (B) OCU.

Anyone has info about the RAAF Mk 20 conversion to Mk 21 and pics of the Mk 21 cockpit?

Anyone has photos of the RAAF Canberra Mk 21 cockpit? Any details of what converting a MK20 to 21 entailed?

Lol. Sorry meant T5B

Can anyone say if the Jet Provost T.mk.5B of 6 FTS had the spin strips as well as tip tanks?

I’ve found that the rattle can Humbrol Enamel Gloss Varnish can be workable. A couple key things to remember is hold it very far away from your model and a little goes a looooong way! It’ll yellow and crack if you put on too heavy a coating. Also you can get bubbles on the finish if your spray coat is too heavy. Getting the can to spray can be a challenge but warm ambient temperature and a lot of agitation prior to starting helps.

Looks like Q3 2021 for ICM B-26K

Thank you very much for this info!

I’ve been trying to find out if the outer pylons were fitted along with RP rails A,C and D. If so could the RPs and other types of ordnance be carried together?

Hello all. Could anyone provide some guidance as to the AdA Mirage 2000C color scheme? FS numbers or paint line numbers?

Great thanks!

What color was the belly of the kiwi FB1 with the black rudders?

What was the belly color of the RNZAF FB1s?

Thanks guys. I figured I'd hava to take some spares and carve for the pylons. Thanks for the photos. It looks quite similar to the TAC SEA colors so I guess those could work.

Hello guys, I'm researching to build a RSAF FG74S. Can anyone confirm the colors? So far I'm thinking H116 dark green, H117 light green, H119 light earth and H130 satin white. Also are there any after market AIM-9 inboard pylons or do we just have to scratch build them?

Interesting. Well I guess it makes for a little difference sitting on the shelf next to the other Brit models.

Hello all I'm building the Airfix kit but in the post Gulf all grey scheme (XX889 circa 1992/3 with Gulf markings still on). I have a question wrt roundels. All the reference material so far indicates that the the wing roundels were upper right and lower left, which is opposite to convention on most other aircraft. Can anyone tell me why this is?

Hey guys I working on an Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer, can anyone advise how much weight to put in the nose? I'm using fishing weights.

Hey guys I use fishing weights. Currently working on an Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer, any advise on how much weight required in the nose?

Hello all. I'm building the Airfix Hawk 100 series 1/48 kit. I'm planning the RAAF 76 Sqn air show scheme. I've noticed most of the decal identification numbers on the placement guide do not correspond to the numbers on the decal sheet. Can anyone help with this?
