Julien Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 This is the S&M 1/72 Canberra B.2. Markings for 10 Sqn RAF mid 1950s just before taking part in the Suez Crisis. Main markings from Xtradecal sheet for Suez Aircraft. Aircraft stencilling from Modeldecal 26 as not on the Xtradecal sheet, and the kit sheet was wrong for the time period. Walkways were masked and painted. Overall not a bad build though it is not a shake and bake kit. Scheme is Medium Sea Grey & Light Slate Grey over PRU Blue (all xtracrylix paints) which I had never seen on an RAF Aircraft. My thanks to John Sheehan aka @canberra kid for his help answering questions, and providing information on the B.2s of 10 Sqn. Julien 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 That is a very handsome scheme and has been executed wonderfully. Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Oh wow, that's beautiful! What fabulous colours too. Love it, love it! I've got an Airfix Canberra in the stash, I'm tempted to paint her in similar colours to this. I need more Canberras! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 That looks terrific. One of my favourite Canberra schemes really nicely executed. I'm really keen to build one the same plus a grey and black one as well. At last we have a decent B.2 available, albeit a bit pricey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
