Thank you for all the encouragement; I am going with the Airfix B-57, an old kit unopened kit; overall black scheme like the one in my reference below. As @trickyrich notes these handful of planes were in theatre for a very long time so I am thinking of a well worn scheme. The RB-57E is a typical MRCA, (Must Refurbish Canberra Again; a riff on what the Tonka was called before 40 years of service) being a mod of the twin stick and target towing B-57E. I am a hairy stick person; any thoughts on enamel that is nearly black? I am going mainly OOB; I have seen people cross-kit 4 kits to get a better result but I will just stick to making the 'B into an 'E; so the bigger bumper and tail end; Iooking for dims for those... Note liquid steel ready on waiting. Regards, Chris

1/72 Airfix RB-57E, Det 1, 460th TRW, Tan Son Nhut AB, South Vietnam, 1966. Patricia Lynn Project I would describe this model of the old Airfix kit as a 6 footer - looks great from 6 feet away...!!! I had no intention of building this, it sort of just happened and quite quickly due to the basicness of the kit. I am pleasantly surprised at how this has actually turned out as I wasn't expecting too much from it. I used a combination of kit decals (still good!!) and from an Italeri B-57 kit. Airbrushed using Tamiya paints and planted on top of a Corgi stand. As there was nothing in the kit relating to the camera fitment I decided to represent these in a very basic manner with a deep red paint application, only just better than nothing but does suggest that there is something in the nose and belly!! Shown here on my shelf with a few more recon assets used by the USAF/CIA during the Vietnam War (except the drone). Cheers all, Phil
