Revell (Matchbox) 1/72 EE Canberra Pr.9

[Alan 45]

I'm a bit disappointed in the finish I've put on this and the decal instructions didn't help but it's not the worst I've built and it ticks off another British Cold War jet from the list

The kit is the old Matchbox release so I wasn't expecting any real detail and was an easy kit to build with no real problems , I did have to jury rid some of the decals to get them into place and I did miss quite I few tiny ones as you can't see them unless your real looking for them

Thanks folks I'm glad you like it but the photos do hide some bad points

Looks really good Alan.My LHS has a few Airfix 1/48 Canberra's in stock.Might just have to get one.

Cheers dave I'm pleased you like it , I've had the same idea about the 1/48 I've just had my LHS put the new 1/48 mossie aside until next week

Think it looks a cracker Al. I know that photo's don't always show the 'warts & all' but it looks great to me, would be well happy to have that. In fact I have a part made one, painted silver, just chucked back into the box...just cannot face it.

Thanks folks for the kind words

Si I'm determined to get my aircraft as good as my vehicles , I don't know why but I can't seem to get the hang of it

Dig it out mate and have a pop at it I wouldn't bother with all the decals as you can't see 90% of them beyond five feet so it seems a bit pointless to put em on

Tell me about it...I have better results in cementing pebbles to a brick than I do with aircraft...o_O

I think it will stay boxed for know. or wrecked...

That looks great Alan. All those stencils can indeed be a real pest; I doubt anyone will notice a few tiny missing ones, in the same vein as Steve commented in another thread, that it is highly unlikely that anyone would have a protractor and measure the dihedral of the wings. You've done a great job, that will look good in your Cold War jet collection.
