Well I've got this started. First thing I did was to take a look at fitting the new nose for this.

Then using my P- cutter took the front end off the kit part, I think it will fit no problems when it's time it fit it with CA glue

This one is a mixture of heavy and light raised panel lines with some sunken ones

So I've decided to scribe the light raised lines and leave the heavy ones on

Well that's it for today.

Nice start Ian. That new nose cone is going to need a bit of filing and blending, but well worth it.

Yes Joe but I don't think it will be too difficult ( famous last words )

[papa 695]

Got this all glued together and filled the sink holes

With the add on wing tanks needed to be fitted you need to drill holes in the wings for them, but luckily they supply two templates, one for each wing

I will fit the nose cone and wing tanks after the wings are fitted.

Starting to look like a Canberra now

Still some work filling the gaps to do


[ATTACH]113546.IPB[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]113547.IPB[/ATTACH]



Also put the undercarriage on just to test, there is no sign in the instructions that you will need to weight I'd down .but as you can see it one hell of a tail sitter
