Tony C Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I've got the 1/48 PR.9 and B.2 kits in the stash, to which I keep fondling the plastic. May have to stop fondling and do something more productive... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I guess you had no problems fitting the cockpit section to the fuselage, it looks great in the photos. The panel lines and riveting looks wonderful to me too, if I'd just seen that last set of photos I would have been asking when the new Canberra kit had been released.

Duncan B Had no problems fitting the nose Duncan, but took several cycles of the sand, fill sand to remove the join line as you'd expect. A full radius tab is provided on the nose so it slots in nicely. Found it strange working with the transparent halves so I stuck some primer on early on so I could see what I was working with. Hopefully if fate is kind the announcement will be made just after woody finishes that beauty!!I concur with all other comments made by Duncan too Neil, she's looking marvellous!keith Lol, they did that just after I finished an old Blenheim, so let's hope they do the same again!Cheers for the comments guys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Progress is slow....but it is progressing.....slowly!!!! I used the vac canopy rather than the resin one that comes with the Aeroclub conversion. Had some fiddly issues blending it in, mostly my own doing. I'm going with the scheme for WH640 which has MSG / Light Slate grey upper camo over PR blue and Suez stripes. I never had any LSG so used Tamiya Field Grey with some white in which is close enough for me. Next step is masking for the PR blue to be added and I've just thought....not checked if I have any! The interior bits have been primed in black to create some tonal variations for when the silver is sprayed The fuselage has been riveted and scribed to busy it up a bit although I know the Canberra's had a very smooth finish, but prefer a touch of artistic licence...

AdrianMF Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Looking good - you have certainly sent the trenches packing, and the new panel and rivet detail looks smashing. The extra detail items also look great. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Cheers guys. Got the painting done this morning and the masks off. A few bits to touch up but nothing serious. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Still looking great Neil, though I stilling fondling mine (received special dispensation from the courts, as long as I didn't do it front of the kids or dog) but am considering the PR.9 after I've cleared the Mosquito from the desk! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Very nice Neil. certainly looks good, and the Panel lines, what a difference, I must use this on future builds with trench like lines. Keep up the good work All the bestChris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 There's still time to make more mistakes John, quite good at scoring own goals on the finishing straight!!! Got the decals on and done some weathering up top. Still more work to do below. Decalling has been troublesome. The Airfix decals were very translucent so had to put double layers on. Fortunately, I had some Tamiya white discs from a Spitfire set that went under the wing roundels to hide the stripes but they're still slightly visible. The Modeldecal ones suffered badly from silvering and had a yellow gunge which needed removing. Anyway, as it stands today.... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 A lovely sachem Woody and very well executed! I'm anticipating a similar problem with the decals for WT333. time will tell! John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Fortunately the Modeldecal ones are quite resilient and I managed to dip the big ones in the water to wash most of the gunk off but a bath of Kleer under them before they dry out on the surface might be a good idea John Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
