Is the Canberra F.12 conversion still available?
I got one not so long back so it should be, I am sure Colin will let you know. It is a very nice set to work with.

It's just occurred to me that this superb Canberra fighter build inspired the F10 that I'm working on right now.

And I may change my colour scheme to have a 'Squadron marked' fin, it was so typical of the period.

A cracking model.  :thumbsup:

I think it was my third Freightdog conversion and l have done a few more since. Colin and his partners (Paul and John) have created some wonderful stuff in the past 10 years.

Thank you for your kind words Robert, hopefully more wonderful stuff to come. I couldn't help but chuckle about your suggestion of some strange love triangle though ;D

So, any chance of the F.12 being re-released?

I don't have any in stock but I'm very happy to get one or two cast up if of interest, probably next week. PM if of interest and I get them ordered.

Re-activating this old thread, I've just had 15 P.12 conversions cast up, if anyone is after one. Although the Airfix Canberra kits are quite tricky to find,  the Frog/Novo B.(I)8 kits or Matchbox/Revell PR.9 kits easy to get second hand.

Thanks,
Colin

Oooooh, can you ever have enough fighter Canberras?

Love the idea. Just wondering though, any chance of a Supermarine type 559 to hang under those big missiles!! ;)

Fantastic Plastic do one, but it's not cheap and it does come with similar missiles anyway.  Lost Cosmonaut at Gannet Scale Models may look at doing one at some point.

Sorry, no plans for a 559 from me!

Great job!

That radome reminds me of the Lansen nose of the Swedish Tp52 (T11)
