1/72 RB.57E Canberra A Frankenstein build

Thank you John. It looks like I have my work "cut out" for me. Pun intended and a bit cheeky. As an aside I saw a B-57 start up and thought it was on fire. The cartrage start generates a lot of smoke. Again thanks. The web sites you provided have pointed me in the right direction.

Mr. C,

Beautiful work on the B-57. I have the Italieri, Airfix, and Frog Canberras in & 72nd scale. If it is not to much trouble would you mind telling us what is wrong with the kits and what needs to be done to correct them. I would like to do a B-57 B or RB-57 E as well as a correct B-57 A (early Martin license built Canberra). I know this is a lot to ask so a good referrence source would be appreciated if this is too much of a request. Thanks

Again that is some great work. I especially like the all black with red markings B-57 A and B and that is what I have in mind.

 

Hello again rangerj

 I've also built a Hart Throb RB.57A in 1/72 and an EB.57A in 1/48 if you take a look around my site there are a few B.57 builds in 1/72 and 1/48 as well as referance albums. If you ever have any Canberra questions just drop me a line. These are photo's of our display for the B.57's 60th anniversary

Most of the models are mine but not all.

and the "Hart Throb" RB.57A

You did a fantastic job especially in that scale!

Thanks Toshi, I've not built a Canberra in 1/72 for quite some time, I have done a similar job on the Airfix 1/48 Kit which also needs a lot of work to bring it up to standard

Ye, i will check that out, thanks.

A very nice build Bish! If you like Canberra's you should have a look around my site IPMS UK Canberra SIG

It was the Xtrakit 1/72nd one. I did it for the RAF GB but posted a build thread as well.

Wouldn't mind doing an early bomber version at some point.

Thanks Bish, what PR.9 did you build is it on here? You can't get enough Canberra action! 

John

Really nice build there John, good to see another canberra. I recently did a PR.9 and there was a couple of guys talking about the B-57, hopefully they will see this.
