After a protracted gestation period (started in 2009) finally managed to get the Canberra finished. Found her to be a pretty straight forward build with the following exceptions:

Weird panel engraving on the rudder filled and sanded.

Despite putting ballast in the front everywhere I could she ended up a tail sitter so reverted to the stand supplied with the kit.

The decal sheet provided looked good until I started to use it, they turned out to be both brittle with poor colour saturation in particular the yellow stencils. However with another 6 of these wee Canberras to build I’ve invested in the Model Alliance set MAS-489018 Canberra Stencil Set for future builds to be supplemented with frame specific markings in due course.

A very good looking model. The tail prop looks right - I often saw a prop used on the Canberra in service.
