Essentially they are the same as the very early RAF T.4's, no ejection seats for the instructor or student, the Nav. had a Mk.1CS. The external difference, this was confined basically to the repositioned pitot to the optical flat on the nose cap. John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprtt Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 Thanks for the feedback. I’m doing an Airfix 1/48 B20. The serial they’ve got is A84-205. From research 205 was converted to Mk 21 in 1958-59 long before it was assigned to 1 (B) OCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 It's a nice colour scheme. Have you had a look around my web site? IPMS UK Canberra SIG. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprtt Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I have been on your website. Fantastic resource! I came across it when I was doing a B(I)8 and have been using your site for reference since. Great job! wrt the B 20 I may just use a different serial number as I really do want to hang the wingtip bomb racks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 A Vietnam war Mk.20 then? I'm glad you like the site. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprtt Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 I want the best of both worlds! The unique bomb rack configuration but something other than the green and grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprtt Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I’ve decided on A84-215 around 1962. This aircraft was with 1 (B) OCU at that time in that paint scheme. In 1963 it got the first camo and later transferred to another squadron. Edited May 19, 2022 by Sprtt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
