woody37 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks for the kind comments guys. This morning I have the job of fixing the damn thing. I had it on the window sill last night and the missus lowered the blind without noticing it. I despair sometimes. It takes several pulls of the cord to lower the blind, and you have to look to stop it at the right point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 D'oh!! Hope there wasn't too much damage inflicted...(still at least it didn't melt in the sun whilst on the window sill!! )Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 I think the heat is getting to you Bill It appears we have thunderstorms in LeMans on the Friday, hope the tent can hold up to that. D'oh!! Hope there wasn't too much damage inflicted...(still at least it didn't melt in the sun whilst on the window sill!! )Keith Fortunately, all the broken bits are glued joints, just as well that I don't build them strong enough! My son built a Wildcat that he won on a tombola at Cosford, that suffered the same fate! Think I'm going to ban her from the lads room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA72 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 That is one helluva superb Canberra there.... love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousAA72 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Cheers guys. I couldn't get hold of a b(1).8, but the lines on the 2 were different anyway as far as I'm aware due to the addition of tanks from the 6 onwards. I don't feel too bad now about the rail sitter if they had issues with the real one! I'm a bit confused...it doesn't take a lot to do that nowadays!!...in your WIP it shows the B(I)8 kit being used as the basis, certainly the wings used aren't the extended PR9 wings......

vh-bob Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 What else is there to say, a beautiful model of a great aircraft. It is a great shame that the otherwise excellent Airfix kit has those totally wrong first couple of inches to its fuselage. How could it have happened? With the vast number of mods and colour schemes out there waiting to be modelled, the world is ready for an affordable and accurate 1/72 Canberra. Well done Woody you've done her proud.

Bill, sorry but its me who is confused It was indeed the B(1).8 that I used! I've just checked the box. This sun is obviously getting to me lol! I was getting confused with the B(1).6 kit that I couldn't get hold of. This is what happens when it takes so long to build a kit, you forget the starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 lovely build - like the clean painting and the very subtle weathering. Nice one. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Neil, that's magnificent. I missed your build thread but the result is outstanding. I do like the camo scheme, it sets the aircraft off a treat especially with the stripes. Nice to see you tackling someting post WWII. Congratulations.
