timraven1992 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I've made a start on my Canberra, I'll be using the Model Alliance Canberras Pt 2 decals, and an Aeroclub MB Mk2CA ejector seat. Box Shot: Cockpit so far: Aeroclub seat: And I'm thinking of doing an early variant, WT339 I'll give them a spray of Nato black tomorrow Thanks for looking Tim

AndyPeacock Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 This should be an interesting one. It wouldn't be for a certain competition would it?
timraven1992 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 This should be an interesting one. It wouldn't be for a certain competition would it? Maybe , are you in the ATC then? Anyway I've almost finished the pit, should post some pics tomorrow. Cheers Tim
timraven1992 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 I added some detail behind the seat out of fuse wire and scrap styrene: I've done the cockpit, and painted up all the bits, given them a wash and dry brush, and a flat coat. I've dry fitted everything, and it all seems fine, no problems apart from maybe a bit of filler round the cockpit 'lid'. Cheers Tim
darson Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Looks bloody great so far Tim, the extra detail work you've done in the cockpit and that Aeroclub seat really make a massive difference. Please keep the updates coming
avro683 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Great start Tim, the extra work makes all the difference. Tony
timraven1992 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks guys, I havent made any progress yet, as I'm hoping for the Les B GB to take off soon so I can hopefuult finish it for that. However I do have a question, what doors need filling in? I can't find much info on it. Cheers Tim
timraven1992 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Posted June 3, 2009 Right, I've done a fair bit now since the GB started. I put the cockpit lid on, and shoved a load of shot air rifle pellets behind the pit. (thanks to Peter for this) I then assembled the wings: I thinned the kit exhausts as well, makes them look much better. (compared to kit one on right) I then put the fuselage together: I reprofiled the fin leading edge, not 100% but I think its better than before: I filled two of the B2 type equipment doors: I razor sawed the bomb bay in two, as it will have the gun pod on: Exhausts on: I also crammed the Nacelles full of lead: These are the forward bomb doors: Rudder filled: Tail and control surfaces: Comments welcome Cheers Tim
avro683 Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 You've bee busy Tim! Looks good, are you going to scribe the trim tabs? Tony
Rich F Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Fast work Tim, at this rate you'll be finished be the end of the week Keep it up! Rich
timraven1992 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Cheers Tony, yeah I'm goin to scribe the trim tabs, when I rescribe it all up before primer. Thanks Mish Haha Rich, in fact I hope its all together by the end of Saturday, as it needs to be completed by Sunday the 14th Right, I've put on the nacelles on and faired them in. I also wacked on the flaps, pylons and ailerons. I also put on the Nav lights. I was quite impressed with how they turned out: I did then by drilling a hole in the rear, and putting clear red + green in, fitting them on with white glue as well as possible, then coating them with klear, and filling the gaps with superglue. Then they were progressively sanded down and polished with mastercasters miracle polishers. Now they're perfectly faired in I put the nose section on and masked it also, it was a tad undersize but that could be due to my assembling of the fuselage. I put on the gun pod: The tailplanes have been glued on as well: Wish me luck as I have two exams tomorrow! Cheers Tim
Deanflyer Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Looks like we're neck and neck with our builds Tim - I've just put the flaps on mine, albeit in the raised position, the nacelles have been faired in at last, and the wings are ready to go on now. I even did exactly the same thing as you did with the wingtip lights, right down to the filled and rescribed holes for the tip tanks - I think I'll just copy your picture over into my build thread, actually... Hope those flaps are only ledged in place though - you might have trouble filling the wing root joints if they're already fixed on! Looking good all round, I'd say. Onwards and upwards, Dean
Fmk.6john Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Some excellent progress there Tim, I like your attention to panel detail, looks like she will shape up to be a good un. Regards, JB.
Martian Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 This is really coming along nicely as indeed are your modelling skils. Martin
timraven1992 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Right, this ones done now. Im really not happy with it, the kit stencils silvered, the paint went on very rough and in general the kit really pi**ed me off. However im now going to call it done, so I can get it off my bench. It was still a tailsitter, and wouldnt fit in my cabinet so i made a stand for it. Anyway, I apologise in advance for the crappy photos, the cats were hovering with intent and bits kept falling off the bloody thing: Tim
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Well Tim If I had turned it out I would be happy, very nicely done, love the stand.
bexwh773 Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Looks pretty smart to me Tim, all things considered. Thanks for the warning that its a git Bexy
