FINALLY!

From SAM’s website

Finally, we have just been told that Kiddyland, (a Pacific Asian plastic kit company), are about to release a 1:48 scale, injection-moulded Canberra B.2 within the next few months!

Anyone heard anything more?

I have just butchered my B57 to start on the Airwaves resin nose and now - a big brother!

I’m glad for you!

I want it! I really want an American B-57A and B, but I’ll take a 1/48 Canberra from the original designers any day. It’s not beautiful, but it’s one of my favorite planes, and one whose role in Vietnam is very much overlooked these days. It was used extensively early on for “road recce” which, like the B-26’s in Korea, involved tooling along above roads and strafing and bombing the bejezus out of anything that moved and looked hostile. There’s a great story in the book “Doom Pussy,” a book about the planes and the guys who flew them, long out of print, in which a B-57, whose crew had punched out, kept flying all over Vietnam, and would not go down even though shot full of holes. I also have long looked for an account of the Australian Canberras over Vietnam, but have come up empty handed. Any of you Aussies out there who can refer me to a source? Americans tend to be chauvanistic, and forget they weren’t the only ones who left blood in the soil of Vietnam. That thinking should be rectified before it gets any more entrenched in our national memory.
