Nice choice Ian. What on Earth is that in the nose?

Radar I'm led to believe Joe

 

[papa 695]

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

Painted and put the cockpit and navigators seat in. Not that your going to see anything when it's all put together

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.

Top work Ian , its a sink fest! Its the old Matchbox mould this one , I'm sure once youve worked your magic (translate as 'Fill , sand and rescribe'!) its going to look awesome., cheers tony

 

[papa 695]

Starting to look like a Canberra now

Still some work filling the gaps to do


View attachment 113546

View attachment 113547



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

22gm of lead is needed

 

[papa 695]

Got the canopy masked and fitted, also got the lead in and now it's not a tail sitter

Wow, that's fast and good work Ian. No problems with space for the weight in the Canberra.
