Thanks mate, Yes I lost all my info, then I got some replies to my NOAA WP.3C build so I found my way back! Smile I've not been slouching though, the Canberra building has still been happening!

Hey, John, missed seeing you on in awhile. Great job on your build, those red stripes really make her stand out!

As it says in the title this is the Project Big Safari, Sharp Cut/Switch Blade RB.57A 52-7492 a one off conversion by General Dynamics Fort Worth in 1957, she was fitted with a 240-inch focal length camera, this is the same camera used by the RAF in operation Robin. I used the Italeri B.57B with the old Aeroclub injection Canberra nose conversion which has now been relapsed with a new better version. One draw back to this particular colour scheme is it highlights the shape issues of the Italeri Canberra, but it would be such a big job to correct them I'm happy (ish) to live with the issues.

Thanks for looking in

John
