Orange Canberra

[zebra]

The orange Canberras operated in Germany were a pretty common sight at British airshows in the 80s - I remember seeing them at Fairford. I'll be building an AMP 1/72 Canberra B.2 in this scheme, using a Model Alliance decal sheet I've had in the stash for ages.

 

Here's the kit and decal sheet:

 

I'll get started soon.

Great choice of subject Julian, any Canberra is always welcome in a GB but an orange Luftwaffe one is even more so. I do remember seeing these at shows occasionally and have seen the one preserved at Gatow so I'm very much looking forward to seeing this one Julian.

It's great to see another Canberra here, Julian, and a nice choice of scheme for it too

Cool   one appeared at a Lossiemouth airshow back in the 80s and was a striking addition to the flightline of otherwise camouflaged machines.

I remember seeing them at Fairford. Really stood out in the static display, and clearly stands out in my memory
