The Miles M.52 also springs to mind, with that pilot in the intake look.
EE/Miles.53 perhaps?  :rolleyes:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

I'm surprised no one has suggested a prone pilot Canberra.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

The prone pilot nose from the SH Meteor 8 is pretty narrow, and I'm not sure it would fit a Canberra.
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! :)

C'mon Kit. With enough putty/PSR anything will fit anything else eventualy.  :wacko:

They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

Yeah, but I'm not sure I HAVE enough putty for that!  :o

But I'll have a look at one and see.

It doesn't have to fit all the Canberra, just replace the part where the bomb aimer look out with the nose and leave the normal cockpit like the Prone Meteor.

It's all great but the unit symbol is just delightful!

Thanks, he was inspired by Superman of course, but with both hands on the controls.  ;D

This is what I was thinking of, roughly Kit,



Just make it like the real Meteor but with a Canberra instead. Could easily say in the description that this was the progression from the PPM (Prone PilotMeteor) to a larger aircraft hence the PPC, Prone Pilot Canberra  ;D

Won't matter if its the Airfix Canberra as the new nose will distract from the slightly bad shape of the kit.

That doesn't look to bad, does it?  :thumbsup:

Now I'm thinking of a prone pilot Vulcan!  ;D

We could go the other way and make a smaller aircraft. Prone Pilot Gnat?  :unsure:

Dunno where the prone pilot's feet would go, they'd be in the safety pilot's lap!
