STOVL Canberra

[PR19_Kit]

Warton and Dunsfold seem to have started talking to each other for once. 

That's looking better and better Robert, any plans for colour scheme and squadron yet?

Brad (scooterman) is sending me some No.3 Sqn Harrier decals and Tim (thedarkmaster) has sent some lo-vis Canberra decals for me to use.  The scheme I'm thinking of is a late Harrier style, but I think with a USMC variation.

Wonderfully mad

Something that might interest you - a proposal by Short Bros. for a VTOL conversion of the BAC Canberra, fitted
with 20 lift engines :

I like your solution more.

I can not help thinking of modern FA2 Sea Harrier colours...

How the heck did you find that Greg ?  I think the idea of using all those lift engines is not very good at all, you'd have to haul around all that dead weight in normal flight.

I find this Meteor just as bizarre

Ok, OK, I've kept my quiet on this one for a long time, but I simply cannot stay schtumm any longer. Robert this is simply 'masterful modelling' just superb, sir

Thanks everyone for all your kind words, I appreciate every one of them especially from those who are 'the' master builders around here.

Well the plans to get on with it over the holiday took a big wack, events conspired against me I'm afraid and not very much got done at all.

[The Rat]

Back to the bench with you, this build deserves you full attention and your fans are growing restless! 

[arkon]

hello   ...... any one here. would like to see some

[kitnut617]

Erm!  well - erm! I'm still here ----- 

Sorry folks, my mind has wandered away from this project.    I'll make an effort to get back into it and finish the job, there's not much left to do.
