Matchbox 1/72 Canberra PR.9
Posted by seasick on Wednesday, June 21, 2017 7:41 PM

I recently acquired the old matchbox Canberra PR.9 kit from a sale. I would like to replace the bomb bay with an aftermarket one and would like to also acquire some bombs for it.  Did the RAF use mk80 series US bombs or some others? Anyone know a good aftermarket set for this kit?

Chasing the ultimate build.

The PR.9 didn't carry bombs. It was a photo recon aircraft

The PR.9 was a slightly enlarged version of the B(I).8, an interdictor. The RAF had 55. Bombs on the B(I).8.
