Thanks every one, I've started the second one. John

I found this link https://the48ers.com/canberra-pr-9-b-i-8-canopy.html and a BM review. It looks like you can get it directly from them self's in Japan. John

@Dr. Quack Niall, glad you could get to see my site. If you need any more info just shout. Another addition that is well worth considering is the Hypersonic PR.9 canopy set if it's still around. I can vouch for it's accuracy.🤔😊 John

Not if he's doing her in that time frame. John

Another thing to note, if you are building XH135 as in the instructions you will need to add the wing tip ECM mods. These are detaild in the PR.9 albums on my site. John

Thanks very much, glad you liked her. John

Always good to see a Canberra build under way, if you want some PR.9 reference all in one place, you could have a look on my web site, IPMS UK Canberra SIG. It doesn't work on mobile devices but laptops and PC's are fine. John

Nicely done, on another old and odd kit! Well recovered after the cat attack too. John

Thanks very much Pete, I didn't get too involved with putting things right being as it's more a canvas for the colour schemes rather tan an attempted at an accurate PR.9. John Thanks very much Steve Thanks Doc, you are correct about the other scheme's too. XH135 was the first PR.9 to be painted in the Hemp. John

Thanks, having part of the real aircraft does add a bit extra to the build. John Thanks Andy 😎

Thanks Mark, she does look smart in the scheme, putting the speed into high speed silver! 😎

Thanks! 😎 Thanks! 😎 Thanks! 😎

This a departure from the norm for me, no not the subject, I have been known to make a Canberra now and then, no, in this case it's in a flight mode. The subject of the build is XH135 at the time of her second Sqn 13. The model will be one of four depicting XH135 at various phases in her time with the RAF, this is another departure from the norm for me as I tend not to build more than one of an individual airframe. The model is the Airfix PR.9 more or less out of the box, The base other than the frame is part of the wing of XH135 the rod is part of the fire detection wiring from her Avon RA.24, I've also managed to incorporate other elements of XH135 into the model.

That is a Corker! Very nice and a tribute to the effort you've put into it! John

No 'scale plans' but these may help? John

If it was an American T.O. they do them as a plan view showing placement of the access panels but not to scale, but all the AP's I've seen do them like this. John

It is Julien, considering how much of the production was done by hand. Keep up the good work on your Meatbox too!

I've got these, John

Five things spring to mind, the two side windows are split horizontally, the Avon 109's are early mod with the blunt starter cartridge fairings, the main wheels are the early mod big wheel hub, and she has the pre fuel vent mast side vent. Mk.1 seat with a square bracket red firing handle. You can fit a gun pack which was just an aerodynamic mock up and pylons if you wish. John

Hi Chris, I'm still around lurking in the shadows, this book writing business takes up a lot of time, I'm working on another Canberra book, this one will be aimed at the modeling world. John

No, it's the external cable for the tank tip navigation light. John

Standard American colours or colors John

No problem, does this answer your question? If not I can dig deeper into the T.O. John

I have the TO. For the J.57 fitted to the RB.57D, if the front fan is the same I can take a look for you. John
