I'm looking for a 1/72 Canberra, ideally the old Airfix B6 but they'll be as rare as hens teeth and cost me a fortune I'm sure.

Any version other than a PR9 would do as I can bodge or kitbash the rest I think. I'm in the UK and would prefer to buy from here, not for any nationalistic ideas, just that the postage will be cheaper.

I think I have a spare.

OooooooOOOOOooooooh, magic stuff Alastair. 

Bagged or boxed, and if boxed which type as I have three different boxes 



Gondor

Now we know why they are rare, Gondor has them all!
Looks like exactly what you need.

A surfeit of riches Alastair, thanks so much. 

The bagged one will do nicely please, it's the basic shape I need, not the collectability.

Please let me know how much you'd like for it.

I have no idea Kit, I just checked on eBay and there is a buy it now for £25 at the moment, so say £20?

I do have one of their B-57B's if you want which I would happily let go for a bit less.

Gondor

£20 sounds good Alastair, thanks.

It's the bubble canopy nose that I need for my idea so the B-57 won't do, but thanks anyway.

You do know that you can buy that part from a guy on Britmodeller who makes a 3D-printed corrected nose for the Airfix kit and a PR nose for the Frog kit.

No, I didn't, I don't hang out on BM these days.

I've got the pukka Aeroclub nose upgrade for the B6 in The Loft, but I never have had a kit to go with it. 

Please PM me your email addy so I can PayPal you the money.

I have one of those too, I also have the PR3/PR7 fuselage conversion as well.

Oh yes, I have all sorts of Canberra bits, I just don't have any Canberras! Well, other than an Airfix PR9 that's destined to be the real XH131 eventually.

You sound exactly like a mate of mine Kit 
Mate Colin's dream car at the time was a 79 IROC Z Camaro...so he brought a ton of parts to modify one ..wheels..suspension..brakes and so on.
Did he ever get the car ..nope 😆 🤣

At the moment Kit may not have a Canberra, but there is now one on it's way to him. To help upgrade the wheel wells I recommend the Reskit set RSU72-52 which is available from Hannants.
Other accessories are also available.
