Canberra F.12 56 Sqdn (Freightdog conversion)

[Rolead]

My take on the Freightdog P.12 Conversion.

With the threat of bombers attacking British airspace, the UK adopted a high/low mix of fighters to combat them. Looking after the lower end was the Hunter (see http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,26466.0.html at the upper end the Canberra.















Thanks for looking

Just to add Canberra finished in dark green/ dark sea grey/high speed silver with decals from modeldecal sheet 99 and spares  box.

Nice job, and so believable too. 

Is that the Airfix PR9 kit you used as a basis?

[Rolead]

It was the the PR9 wings and the B.(I)8 fuselage.

...which begs the question 'What are you going to do with the other bits?' 

Do the long chord PR9 wings fit the short chord B(I)8 fuselage then?

There was a gap to fill in, just used filler.

Other bits, not sure yet.

Wow!  Whiffing a Whatif!  I like.  I especially like the marking scheme - the red tail adds an interesting bit of flash to this scheme.

It somewhat reminds me of a CF-100 Canuck, but much cooler.  Sorry Canada.

Is the Canberra F.12 conversion still available?

Like it. Good one.
