VMA131Marine Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Presumably based on the S&M Models kit. MikroMir created the molds for that one. 1
71chally Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Great to see the attention to detail with the two different nose cone styles.
Rudolf_Filip Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Very unexpected, but very welcome. I will certainly look out for this one! The Swedish Air Force had two Canberras and both are actually "preserved" today. One is standing outside the Flygvapenmuseum (Air Force museum) and the other is in the Svedinos Museum in the south of Sweden. Both have suffered badly after standing outside for many years and they really need some TLC. However, on the positive side, they haven't been scrapped so thats good... That nose is sexy isn't it?

chris57 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Funnily enough I have a nose conversion done by Reyhex for this variant as a T19 of 85 Sqn at Binbrook circa 1968. Apparently tip tanks were not used on this version.
71chally Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) The T.19 was different really, the Tp52 could carry the tip tanks. Edit, Good walk around of both Tp52s here, shows how the two nose styles could be changed over. Edited January 31, 2018 by 71chally

general melchett Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 An interesting variant. (excuse the pun), I had a good nose around both TP-52s a couple of years ago, they could both benefit from a bit of attention, at least Svedinos example is inside, the Malmen machine looked quite sad.Hopefully, there are plans to restore them at some point. 3

Don’t bet on it: if they can leave the prototype Viggen languishing outside to the extent where the only option was scrapping what hope have a couple of manky old common-as-muck Canberras got?

general melchett Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Good point but you can only hope, unfortunately, it's a common problem, just look at Cosford and the one remaining complete Vulcan B1. I realise that they don't have the funds to restore every exhibit but hopefully they'll see that these aren't just a couple of common-as-muck Canberra subtypes, same goes for the ELINT Caravelle.
robc Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 I see S&M have also announced a boxing of the T.11 as well as a PR.3/PR.7 for 2019. " Also for 2019 S&M Models will release 1/72 injection kits of the Canberra PR3/7 and Canberra T11 " http://sandmmodels.co.uk/misc-news/mustard-arrives/ Rob 1
TEXANTOMCAT Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I hope one of the TT.18 options is for WH887 I own the cockpit with a mate! Edited March 9, 2018 by TEXANTOMCAT

71chally Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 That sounds like great news. Im hoping someone will do a nice set of the correct style B.2, PR.3, T.4 (and T.11/19, T.17, TT.18 + some exports) mainwheels for these kits, rather than the B.6 and onward type in the kit. 3

Julien Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 After my struggles with the current S&M kit I dount I will get another. Julien
praded-dembelya Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 Who has a photo of the view from below the nose of T.17 ?
71chally Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Probably not quite what you're after, but a lovely shot from my friend Chris England - Flickr. @canberra kid or @sloegin57 might have what you are after. Edited March 10, 2018 by 71chally 6 2
stever219 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Thanks for posting that photo James. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an image before that shows the skin joints on the B. 2 wing tank areas as clearly and subtly as that. Also it’s amazing how filthy the undersides got: if I’d seen that depicted on a model I’d have thought it “over the top”. WH646’s front fuselage is now with the Midland Air Museum (indoors😁) at Coventry wearing the later Camouflage Beige🤮 and Light Aircraft Grey Camouflage.
