Cold War GB - Revell 1/72 Canberra PR.9 *FINISHED*

[TBPhoto]

Decided to join in with this GB with this Canberra. Got it today for £12.99, I hope to do a Hawker Hunter too, but I am starting with this one

Revell's 1/72 Canberra PR.9, XH135 from 13 Squadron, or XH136 from 39 Squadron. I don't know which to do though! You decide! I'll have a vote, just say which scheme you'll prefer!



I will keep you updated, will start it some when this week starting with the cockpit. It will be hand painted, but I will do my best! Hope you like it!

Well done Tommy, great to see you in on this.

My vote is for the one with the smaller tail squadron badge. Not sure whether that's XH135 or XH136.

Looking forward to your next update mate.

Okay, that is 136

Update on this coming later tonight!

[TBPhoto]

Well, I've finished the cockpit, and glued the fuselage together, will do some more of the model tonight and tomorrow night! This is hand painted!
Ok, not the best painted pilot but hey ho!

Cockpit assembled

Will never be as good as my Tornado GR4 Cockpit!

Fuselage glued together

Another update will be in a few days, possibly Friday, most likely on Saturday though!

Just started glueing the wings and horizontal stabilisers, and started sanding the edges down

[StuW]

Looking good mate!

[Deacon]

Great start mate, you're cracking on with this.

Nice one, this kit is currently £5.99 at modelzone I picked one up and was going to throw it into the mix. Any objections to building the same kit in a different livery?
I was going to do an ebay purchased F-104 but when it arrived it had embossed markings in USAF livery, no good to this build me thinks !

[TBPhoto]

What livery shall I do? how about option 5 on this one? They grey coloured one? http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ACD72002

There will be an update tomorrow, consisting of:
Wings glued on,
Horizontal Stabilisers glued on,
Air Intakes made,
Exhaust Pipe made,
And possibly some making of the landing gear

Looks good so far. You seem to be flying through this kit.

Look forward to seeing the next update.

[TBPhoto]

Sorry have to delay the update due to history homework, it will be tomorrow for sure!

[Jamesv9820]

Homework - now I feel old!

Don't please. I just about remember those days, endless lines of stuff to make note of from the blackboard!

[TBPhoto]

I've decided I am going to paint it in its camo, I will use that scheme, unless you all want the beige scheme?

[TBPhoto]

Please bare with me for tonights updates, having problems with my computer!

[TBPhoto]

Here it is
Wings and Stabilisers added

Exhausts made and blue-tacked on for now, they need some sanding down at the sides

1 of the Intakes added, other will be added tomorrow, this one needs some filler around some places


If anyone spots any problems, please let me know and I will correct them

[funkygib]

Camo is a good choice, do you mind if I enter the grey scheme then if you are definitely going camo? This will best compliment my planned Nimrod build also, time permitting of course!

[TBPhoto]

Yeah, I'll definitely do the Camo, so yes, you can do the grey

[Deacon]

Great progress mate.
