Hi Tim, me again.



Have completed the Airfix Canberra.  Photos being sent in 3 emails as
usual.  Feel free to choose the ones you like best:









In this kit of the Canberra I utilized my pet method of creating windows
from strips of black transfer with the frames overpainted in white.  By the
time I gave up counting I had fixed well over 200 individual transfers with
many left to go on.  To represent the Windbreakers on the upper deck I used
clear acetate sheet with white framing painted on using a spring bow.  The
motor boats and “bathtub” boats were adapted from QEII boats that were cut
down to size.  Many of the details were picked up by studying the pictures
on the Canberra Web Site.  The pictures of the Canberra being broken,
(posted on the same web-site), up were most distressing!!
