wallyinoz Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi gang a while back I started resurrecting an Airfix Canberra from a few wrecks I acquired from a fellow modeller. The decals are home made copied from some drawings provided to me by a hyperscaler..Alex CL-215, I wasnt happy with the resolution of the fin badge so I redrew that as well. I have to correct the white to silver demarcation line on the rear fuselage but I have no time as I leave for the UK again in the next few days, so it this and a few other niggling corrections and additions will have to wait.. I just needed to clear the bench before I left...its not the best but looks ok on the shelf 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 That looks great! I know that NASA had or has a couple of Canberras, but what does the U.S. Department of Commerce need a bomber for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I think it may be because the NOAA, National Weather Service, etc come under the Dept of Commerce so that weather research would be my real guess - but I prefer the first one!

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Very nice Canberra 👍 Ive heard of these but never saw one before. I know they use drones to monitor water usage on ranch and farmland. They also monitor run-off from farms into waterways with drones. It all stems from lack of manpower on the ground to do on site inspections. Edited November 29, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Additional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 That is nice. And you solved the poor nose problem on the Airfix B6 very elegantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Now that is excellent and a bit left of centre, to be fair that looks more than OK to me with the nice contrasts of the colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 If you are coming back to the UK Wally, you can pick up some of the S&M new Canberras when you are here! That's a great build there. Very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
