    Hi All this my first post, I wasn't too sure where to put it as it's based on the 1/48 scale Airfix B.57 kit but like the real aeroplane it contains a lot of new parts, thanks for looking

    Thanks Craig, it was a fun build, I'm glad that's the last of the big wing Canberra's I need to build though.
    There is a full WIP n my site here if you're interested in how I got there.

    What a smart looking build. The Air Force pulled one out from the bone yard and rebuilt it for use in the middle east. Kind of neat that like the B-52 planes that are over 50's years old are still relevant. As this model is John. Looking forward to seeing more of your gifts and talents.

    Thanks Stephen, I know, it just goes to show what a good airplane it is, the 3 that NASA are flying look like they will be around for some time yet!

    Great looking build John, and welcome aboard. Just FYI, posting any subject to the main area is standard protocol (that way we don't accidentally miss it!).

    Hello John, welcome onboard at iModeler. I think that completed models always deserve to be posted straight at the headlines. Feel free to try it next time...
