Hi, John, not at this time, there are still too many Phantoms in the closet, but your techniques may serve well in those endeavors.

Glenn

Just like me Glenn, but with Canberra’s!

John

I think folks tend to not realize the variety in the Canberra family. I’m not familiar enough with all the variants, but I imagine that no two in your collection are alike.

Glenn

You’re not wrong Glenn, I’ve built 50+ and not one is the same,

This is a photo of my fleet taken some time ago but it gives an idea of what it’s like. The first are all 1/72.

and 1/48

Hi John, nice to see a SAAF Mk 12b in your vast collection :slight_smile: (PRU one)

I loved waching them go out of Waterkloof AFB when I was stationed there 1990. Still recall the huge plumes of somke from the starting “bangers”

I am almost ready to paint my Airfix 1/72 Can Mk12.

I have to admit, the bold USAF colors are very nice, well done.

Theuns

Sweet tea and cookies, John!

Thanks Theuns

You lucky man it must have been fantastic, not just the Canberra’s but the Buccaneers too. I’m still trying to build a definitive version of a SAAF B(I)12 I keep finding out new things out of all the Canberra’s the SAAF and Rhodesian ones are very camera shy [:)] but fascinating! Can you post a photo of your 12 when she’s finished?
