Canberra T13

[Silver Fox]

From other end of the scale after working on my Monogram F-106 comes this 1/144 Canberra.

 

 It is by A-model and I think I used nearly as much filler on this  as I did on my Airfix 1/48th Canberra. To allow for multiple variants the nose centre section and tail are separate assemblies so alignment was fun.

 

I'm not sure I got it right though. Like it's 1/48 scale counterpart no matter how much lead shot I packed into the nose it was still going to be a tail sitter so as with the real thing a prop was placed under the rear fuselage.

I reshaped  the nose to remove the bomb-aimers window to create a T.13 nose then disaster struck and I ruined the canopy. Hence the black painted cockpit. Something that looks ok-ish in 1/144 but I reckoned the chances of  a replacement part were less than zero.

 

The decal are mixture of the kit, which surprisingly nice, Xtradecal for the codes and the silver ferns on the roundels are hand painted.

 

As always thanks for looking.
