canberra kid Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hi All This my 1/48 Airfix and scratch built RB.57F, like the real GD RB.57F this doesn't contain much Canberra, much of what you see is scratch built from various domestic items, a full WIP can be found here. Big wing build Thanks for looking John 69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Bob Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Okay, was it a case of take set of Canberra wheels then scratch build a RB.57F on top of them? Very impressive model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 What can I say, John? Amazing model! Without a doubt, the highest-performing bathroom fixtures in the history of model building! You are Canberra Man, not Kid! You should be proud of this one. Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
