Oh the joys of PSR  :wacko:  :wacko:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I'm starting to think that the 'P' in IPMS should mean the 'International PUTTY Modellers Society'!  :-\
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Just about there on the starboard wing now. One more PSR session just aft of the exhausts and that should do it.

I hope those aren't 'Famous Last Words'................

At last the Dalgety's starboard wing is done, almost. It needs a final coat of primer but that's a tad difficult to apply when you're in a 5th floor hotel room, so it'll wait till tomorrow when I'll be back in my 'country home'.

Both wings are now fully panel lined and both have the wing radiators installed that the two Griffons need. I had to scratchbuild an aileron for the starboard wing as the original went walkies somewhere, and I also had to do a radiator flap for one rad on the port wing. The original was there at one time, but had fallen off at some point.

Here's the pics to prove it's all happened.

Very good. A professional look. Shame for those short wings.  :rolleyes:  ;D
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

The wings have to be the same length as a Canberra's wings, after all it's meant as an 'alternative' Canberra..........................

That does make perfect sense that ..it isn't another upgraded or modified version of the Canberra after all .
Still seems kinda weird tho 🤔 😆
