discussion Joe's 1/72 Matchbox English Electric Canberra PR.9 'Spy in the Sky GB'

Build thread here:




I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and am pleased with the result. All OOB except for the aerial protrusion on the starboard forward fuselage. The stand came with the kit, I painted it blue and added the kit name decal and the roundel is from my spares box.

Great tidy build. I always think aircraft look their best in 'flight mode'. Funny, do you remember when nearly every kit came with a stand ?

That looks great Joe, so sleek in its silver colour and posed in flight.

Thanks Colin. Yes, and I wish more modern kits came with stands. Some aircraft just look plain wrong on their wheels.

Thanks Monica. No, did not know about the Canberra bomber at your local, but had a look online and it looks a big project for them. Cheers.
