I'm going to have a crack at the Airfix B.57G, but I'll be using the forward fusalage nose section from the CA B.57B as I have one spare I want to do it with the canopy open and the Airfix one is that bad I could never use it unless it was closed. I've seen a few photos of the Airfix G built up on various forums and one thing that stands out to me is the LLTV housing under the nose, it's never looked right, it just doesn't have the right bulk of the real thing. So I scald up ahead on photo and surprise, surprise; Airfix got it wrong!!! It is as you will see from the following photo 2 foot too narrow! So I've let in a 1/2 inch plastic card strip. This now means the window will be too short as well. So at some point I'm going to have to decide, do I make a new window or fit the red FOD cover? I will decide that later. Deconstruction time! I've now turned my attention to the office, As I'm using the forward fuselage from the CA kit I'm also using the resin tub from the kit. The tub as it is, is a good representation of a B.57B cockpit, but the G is a quite different particularly in the back, I got the Edward PE set to help with the build and although the main instrument panels are quite good some of the other detail for things like the side consoles are wrong so I'll only be using the parts that are right for the G. I'm keeping the side consoles in the front as they are, there is no significant differences between the B and G in this area. The back is where the mod's are required. Out as to come the all the equipment on the starboard side this is the controls associated with the Shoran bombing computer, also for the chop is the Navigators fold down table. After the work as been done, I've also removed the vertical part on the tub, as the side consoles are horizontal all the way to the fuselage sides, this is the only thing Airfix got right with there cockpit tub! For some strange reason there is no detail supplies in the Edward set for the right hand side of the rear cockpit apart from one black box that is not appropriate to the G or if it is it must have been added after 1970 when my copy of the flight manual was updated! I have built up the side with card I will copy the accurate detail from my B.57G flight manual. Another problem with the Edward set is the detail supplied for the rear console on the port side looks more like the set up for the B.57E or C, so I'm keeping it as supplied my CA with the only modification being the removal of the special weapon controls.
