That's a coincidence, as I was looking at this I was thinking exactly the same thing. Great model though and just goes to show how good a finish you can get with a brush. Lovely subtle weathering as well to give a bit of life to an overall single colour.\ said:Great paint job one of my favourite aircraft the Canberra , reminds me of a grown up meteor
Great job.
Does anyone know why the cockpit was offset?

Excellent job, it's nice to see a well done Canberra.
I believe it allowed access to the nose area and provided a better field of view for the pilot who aimed the bomb load through an optical sight. The navigator sat in the nose under the pilot. Would be pretty dark in there! English Electric never redesigned the cockpit position when the PR versions were produced to save mucking about with controls and other systems. The Americans did redesign the cockpit and had a centralised two-seat arrangement.\ said:

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I built it completely out of the box, and didnt use any filler , which in hindsight would have been a good idea on some of the panel joins.
Still,it looks good in my display cabinet.

I think it's the old matchbox mould, so fairly old. No real flash on the parts though.
No flash, I'll bet it's Matchbox ! Anyway, nice job. A model I should try one day.
