Canberra T.17, Classic Airframes 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hi comrades!

Full build is here

Model is fun to build, but it needs some modifications and more details to better represent the prototype.

Modifications I made:

-Third crew member station was added (and it's visible!!!)

-Painted antennas inside the canopy 

-Antennas scratchbuilt

-Navigation lights scratchbuilt

-Landing light - Elf

-Details on wheel doors-scrach

-Wheels - replaced with ResKit

-Brass In cockpit - Eduard

-National insignia - painted (decals are wrong)

-Stencils - partly painted, most from Model Alliance decals

-Loon replacement wingtip tanks

 

And great thanks to @canberra kid and @Lord Riot for the help and protecting me from making big mistakes!!!

Stunning Canberra that, you've captured the look perfectly! Definitely worth the extra effort and additions you made.

 

The dirt and weathering looks spot on too. Brilliant!

Incredible work. If I ever attempt mine I will be using your WIP as the go to reference. The detail in the cockpit is unreal (well, actually looks very real!) and the weathering is very authentic. Congratulations.

One word to describe that and that word is 'Perfection'

 

What a stunning replication, my all time favourite version of the Canberra, miss seeing these over the skies of Cambridgeshire.
