Popular Post canberra kid Posted June 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2016 One of the many R&D tasks that Canberra B(I)8 Mod WT333 was used for was the test and re-calibration of the Harpoon anti ship missile. The Harpoon being an American system was originally calibrated to operate in the Pacific Ocean area but to operate over on this side of the globe the software had to be re written and calibrated for the North Atlantic waves. These trials required WT333 to fly attack profiles so the weapon could be re-calibrated. The mode is based on the Airfix 1/48 B.2 with a lot of home made mods the full build is here if you want to take a look http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234988093-wiggaly-amps-canberra-bi8-wt333/ Thanks for looking John 83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I am doing more than looking John, I am fondling it with my eyes, I followed your build which was fantastic and the model is no different, absolutely fantastic. I love the Raspberry Ripple scheme and the Canberra, perfect companions in my book. Very well done indeed. Gary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Beautiful Canberra model! I have the bits and bobs for a Short SC.9, but I'll probably play it safe and do it in the all-white scheme, and not the Raspberry Ripple (although looking at your model might change my mind). With all the Canberras that were used for experimental purposes, I sometimes wonder how any were left over for actual combat use.

Gary West Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Shes a stunner John - enjoyable WiP too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudioN Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Looking with awe... exceptional build. Your historical notes hint at the odd shape in the nose being a Harpoon front-end, is it? Flying a Harpoon attack profile with something the size of Canberra must have been interesting. Claudio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Great looking Canberra John, glad the engines went on OK. I should have the Canberra upgrades previously marketed by Model Alliance re-released by the time the Airfix kit comes out again, includng the correctly shaped gun pack and wing plyon's with training bombs often see fitted to B(I).6's. I have the test casts in front of me know! Colin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4u Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hi John, Beautiful Canberra ! She looks great, the WIP was enjoyable and informative so much so I might have to go and get the B2/6 to go with PR9 ! Also I can recomend the Canberra SIG for all your Canberra information really helpful. Hope to see WT333 and maybe you John at Brunters in August. Once again lovely job mate. All the best Guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Hello, John - My full compliments to you on a superbly built and finished scale replica of '333'.Only the 1:1 scale version could be more realistic. Your love and devotion to 'All Things Canberra' is beyond comparison and reflected in all your varied builds.However,having studied these photos,I feel this model deserves centre stage on your ramp. 'Bee'would be VERY impressed indeed! I certainly know I am along with many others. All the very best,Paul.
