Well I have got to finish something for Telford. Only a few weeks left so I'm up late filling the wings seams (again) on the ol' girl.

CA Canberra T17. She's still gonna need painting! Hemp and LA Grey.

Filling with filler/nail varnish remover. Dries quickly but causes the Halford primer to orange-peel like mad. Out with the wet 'n' dry!

Hope you've remembered to pile that lead weight up front :hmmm:

oooohhhh yes!!!

The nose is full of ball bearings. As is the forward region of the engine nacelles.

The rear ejection seat is left out and every available fuselage space forward of the leading edge is stuffed with bluetac!

Its bl**dy heavy, hope it's enough!

Looking good, Gavin.

I've got that one in my cuboard to build myself.

How was the fit of the resin add ons?

The kit looks big, don't know were mines going to go when finshed! :huh:

I've got one of these puppies too, and I've got no idea where I'm gonna put mine either :lol:

And a 1:48 Hercules and a 1:48 Lancaster, 2 x 1:72 Vulcans, a Victor, a 1:48 TSR.2 :shocked:

I think I need a bigger house :unsure:

Hiya Shaun,

The resin is fine. Only thing I got wrong was the engine intakes. They are not 4 identical parts. 2 have square intakes on. Don't do what i did and stick the 2 with intakes together as a set and ditto of the 2 without. Too late by the time I had noticed and thus had to fill and scribe.

Hope mine turns out as nice as Clive's pair. A T17 and an Argie B2

Hi Gavin,

Clive's, Canberra's look amazing. :goodjob:

Were does he store them!

Do you have any clearer photo's of the models?.

Thanks for the tip on the intakes.

Shaun.

They'll be at Telford. Come and find us and have a look.

His output this year has been awesome! He must have done 10+ models!
