Back in the Saddle Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 A belated RFI for a model finished a few days ago - I was waiting for the rain to stop! The build thread is here if you want to watch the painful process that was this one coming together... Anyway, here she is - any comments/criticism are welcomed👍 I will hopefully get some more photos added tomorrow, showing some close ups... 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Yes by all means post some more photos. It looks great. The Canberra is an iconic British Bomber. You've done a great job on it. Close ups and low level shots would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Beautiful! That’s finished to a very high standard indeed, looks lovely. It’s nice to see one built with the kit decals too, looking really nice! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 You`ve done a lovely job mate,..... shame the kit marking are so poor,.... I`d have been tempted to use some after market ones,... especially as the finish is so good. Cheers Tony 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigbeale Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If my 1/72 Eastern Express B(I)8 turns out half as good I’d be happy! Very well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well done Thank you! @tonyot The supplied decals were certainly weaker than I expected. WIth hindsight some am decals would have improved things considerably. @Brigbeale I'm sure your 1/72 kit will be far better than this one!! As promised, a couple of additional pictures: I must build a proper booth for this sort of job - the table is far too cluttered...! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murewa Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Nice build dude! It still absolutely blows my mind that Canberras have still been flying in service with Nasa in 2021 ... it's just absolutely mental, WTF?!?!. What an aircraft! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patio slabs work well for this shoot, but the weeds are not to scale! I have a 1/48 PR9 in the stash to go with this one - might have to get that out of the box soon…!😃 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
