Originally built as a B2 and delivered to the RAF in 1954, WH902 was converted to a T17 then modified to T17A standard, receiving its hemp colour scheme around 1987. It served in the radar and communications jamming training role, flying from RAF Wyton until October 1994. For this model I used the Airfix B(I)6/B20 kit in 1/48, with the Alley Cat T17 conversion kit, which included the decals as well as that bulbous ECM nose and numerous aerials, etc. Particular thanks to @canberra kid for advice and info during this build. All comments and criticisms welcome. Still got t- 25 replies

After the Group builds have been finished i though I would do a relaxing build, but no instead I have started work on a Shackleton MR1 using the Airfix kit and the Alley Cat conversion set in resin. I will concentrate on the conversion and only discuss the base kit when there are issues that I feel are worthwhile highlighting and that effect the build of the kit. Although I suspect most members who will look at this section will be aware of the Shackleton, there might be some unfortunates who have never come across what was the last iteration of the line that started with the Avro Manche -
This is not a subject I would have chosen to build. However having been asked to build it I thourghly enjoyed the challenge and loved learning about this iconic, groundbreaking aircraft.

Hi all, Just finished this Alleycat conversion on the Airfix B2 Canberra, not the easiest to do as the replacement cockpit section did not want to play but I eventually beat it into submission! Inspired by seeing the real thing at Bruntingthorpe but took too many photos with too many details on! Paints used Revell Aqua, Humbrol Acrylics and Xtracrylics with the markings coming out of the spares box. A very pleasing result but I could have spent a lot more time on it but ended up just wanting it finished! MODeller
