Popular Post DaveJL Posted June 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/48 Airfix Canberra PR.9 in the markings of XH168, 'Eastern Promise,' during Op Telic in 2003. Delivered in 1960, this Canberra served with 59, 13 and 39 Sqns. In 1981, the aircraft was placed into storage at St Athan for a number of years before being re-activated for service with the then new 1 PRU (39 Squadron) before being written off in a landing accident in September 2003. The build thread is below. Extras used included a Pavla resin cockpit, Neomega ejection seat, Hypersonic Models canopy correction, Eduard masks, Mastercasters corrected rudder, Eduard static discharge wicks and a mixture of Xtradecal and Model Alliance decals. Paints are from MRP and the light weathering is a mixture of Flory wash, Abteilung oils and Tamiya weathering sets. The comms wire running from the cockpit to the tail is EZ line. Oh it ended up being a bloody tail sitter! I've fashioned a bit of clear rod to sit underneath the rear fuselage to keep it level. 39 Squadron then and now: I also made some modifications which are highlighted below: Thanks for looking and stay safe Dave 81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Congratulations on a wonderful Canberra build. The last few photographs with added ‘modification text’ are excellent and certainly most useful. Cheers and very well modelled.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Definitely an excellent build. And I really like the clean look! From what I can see, the cockpit appears to have been well detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Brilliant! Perfect representation of a late service Canberra, another type that’s sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
