Booty003 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just finished this one earlier today. The old Italeri B-57G kit with an Aires resin pit and replacement bombs from a Hasegawa weapons set. Raised panel lines were sanded away to give a better finish for the fuselage join. Little bit of re-scribe work on the wings for the wash to take. EZ line for the wiggly amps. Airbrushed free hand using Tamiya acrylics. Great kit to build and I have the standard B-57B kit in the stash somewhere as well. One more for my Vietnam collection. Cheers all, Phil 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Paw Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Very good with an excellent finish. The Italeri kit does fit where it touches and you have wrestled it to a great looking model. I have just finished the Italeri A26 Counter Invader using slightly different Tamiya colours. I had to mask mine though 😏 Edited October 14, 2019 by Bear Paw Missed out content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Phil, Beautiful Canberra, and very, very nice airbrush work to get scale soft-edge demarcations, especially without any masking! The G is such a nasty-looking Canberra and you have done her justice. Well done, especially as the Italeri doesn't really fit all that well- nice job! 👍 Mike I think John, aka @canberra kid is going to like what you've done with his favorite modeling subject. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberra kid Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Nice one Phil. as Mike @72modeler says my favorite subject, and the G is my favorite Martin Canberra, despite all the shortcomings with the Italeri kit you've made a very nice model.
