My next `inflight` dio happens to be the rather old`ish Airfix 1/48 Canberra B.1. A few update piccies......, ![]() ![]() ![]() Although the kit is getting on a bit, I have to say I`m very impressed with the fit and sturdyness of the kit. The last two pictures in particular show parts dry fitted and first impressions leave me in no doubt that filler is hardly, if at all, required. |

I finished mine with the kit decals and they worked and looked fine. |

I`ll keep an eye on them when the times comes. Hopefully they will be fine as I`d like to finish it with the OOB decals. |

Some progress made on the build which has gone together with little fuss.![]() Now awaiting the perspex rod so I can work out the CofG and drill a hole to the right diameter before I progress. If anyone has some interesting pictures of Canberra`s releaseing bombs, I`d love to see them. |

Started to work on the diorama part this evening by drilling the appropriate hole in the kit for the perspex rod to fit in to it. Next, off to a neighbour up the road who`s a demon woodwork expert when it comes to simple bases. ![]()

Like it, I've also got one of these on the bench. Mine is progressing far slower than yours though...

Looking very good, the main filler I used on mine was on the rather spurious deep trenches on the rudder which seems to be a universal issue with the Airfix's whole 1:48 Canberra range. |

Not intending to hijack this thread but to show what can be done with the Airfix 1/48th Canberras. These 2 I built when first released and both more or less OOB except for the nose etc. on the second Airfix 1/48th B(I).Mk 8 using kit decals Canberra 3 by Derek Reeve, on FlickrAirfix converted to T.Mk 17. Forget whose conversion kit used but came with decals. Canberra T.Mk 17 by Derek Reeve, on Flickr
