1/48 Airfix EE Canberra

Gallery Article by Leslie Choy on July 7 2009

 

This is Airfix 1/48th scale Canberra, built straight out of the box.  Building this, one must have lots of lead weight ready.

Due to the massive nose weight, I've strengthened both the nose and main undercarriage strut by inserting brass rods.

I sprayed Gunze colours followed by future. The decals were disappointing especially those with yellow wordings. There was slight silvering as well. The surface were matt coat with Humbrol matt cote.
