GrahamS Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Lovely. As I think I’ve said before, one of my favourite counterfeit Canberras. Now for a WB ? https://www.nasa.gov/missions/research/b-57_feature.html Graham oh, like the addition of the ground crew member too. Gives it a nice sense of scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 A lot of work has gone into this John and it shows, another superb build and the figures just round it off lovely, sort of brings it alive. Gary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hello,John - I put a Trophy up to your photos because I think that’s what you deserve for this fabulous build. She not only looks but is a stunning model and a real piece of creative modelling. Now you’ll be putting together a Storage Hangar for her!? Great work in every sense. 😉👍👏 All The Very Best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 John, You should be locked up for your own good- you sure did a great job on this one! Never really realized what a huge wing that version had, even more so in 1/48! Soooo, what's next? Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great build - have been following this and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Now I have a 1/48 HAS and a PR9 and that won’t fit - wonder if the RB57D would fit in one of these.

Thanks Graham, I have been mulling over the idea of an F the wings and fin are ok (ish) the stumbling block would be the bigger cowlings for the fan, but I do think we will see another D roll off the line next year 18 hours ago, MikeR said: Excellent work!

TheBaron Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 How many Canberras does that make now John? Each as immaculate as the other. Maybe it's the stark black and white scheme but this one seems particularly imposing. Lovely work sir. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a difference in size really is a large aircraft compared to a standard Canberra, so she will be at Telford for all to see in her glory ? What's the next project then I wonder ?? Well done mate and nicely displayed. All the best Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
