1/96 Canberra B2


Recommended Posts

This is the old Lincoln (also issued over the years by  Kader  and International  Models ) Canberra.  Lincoln was a Hong Kong company back when it was a UK Crown Colony so maybe it's close enough to be considered a CBK? 

 

Anyway, the kit is pretty basic - no interior or undercarriage and represents a PR3 but is pretty accurate!.  Although it comes with decals for VX181, the PR3 prototype, the colours used for the codes are wrong.  I shortened the fuselage back to B2 length, added some scrap to represent the pilot's head and ejection seat and made my own decals.   Here she is as Canberra B2 WH638 of 32 Squadron RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus c. 1960.   Not my best but I am pretty happy with her and she looks good next to my 1/96 Vulcan B1 and Victor B1.
