canberra kid Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Well here I go again, it's a Canberra! This is the CA B.57B modified to an RB.57E using the Airfix E nose cone but that had to be altered to better represent the shape of the camera nose of the RB.57E. I've also had ago at trying to capture the well worn look of the most used Canberra in SEA, the only USAF jet to be in theater from start to finish. If you want to see my WIP it's here RB.57E WIP that will explain all the extra work involved in making an accurate RB.57E John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dergrunepunkt Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Cool one mate, I think the weathering looks the business, take a picture outside maybe with the sky as background I bet it can't be distinguished from the real thing. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberra kid Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) As Luis suggested it I thought I'd give it a go, some more shots of her with a natural background. Perhaps I should have taken them yesterday when we had more dramatic Sky's? John Edited July 9, 2011 by canberra kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
