    Looks like a nice kit, Allan @kalamazoo
    S&M is an unknown brand to me.

    Always thought the Canberra was a nice solid looking aircraft, it will be good to see this one come together.

    Allan I'm not sure if you have the same problem with the smaller 1/72 scale but on a 1/48 it takes a heap of weight in the nose area to stop a tail sit.

    Looks like sufficient weight to me.

    Very nice work, Allan @kalamazoo
    Good idea to check the dihedral this way.

    Canberras are cool, Allan (@kalamazoo). This kit looks like it will be a challenge, but I am sure you will make it shine. I didn't know anyone else used Canberras in Vietnam except for the US (B-57).
