chris148 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Good evening everyone please find below the latest offering. Here we have the 1/48 canberra from classic airframes.All i can say is it was 'challenging' biggest issues being bad fitting canopy,wings and fuselage.Another major problem was that i boughtthe kit from ebay only to find when constructing the wings i find the wing tip tanks are missing so i decided rather than going without i would try and make some,its amazing what you can do with paint brush handles,see photo's. The other known problem with thiskit is the whole thing is majorly tail heavy.I filled the nose with fishing weights with a bit more behind the cockpit and it stil tips up. The build is brush painted as usual with revell and humbrol enamels. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
