E. E. Canberra Mk. B2

A new project - a German Canberra. Kit comes from Roden, decals from Hahen. 

The kit is quite rudimentary, has no dowel pins, some unclean edges and transitions - can be cheerful. The landing gear bays are kept simple and are better. 

So sawed out bays and first made the two wing halves suitable. 

Scratched new bays with ice cream plastic. 

And fits. 

Same game on the nose. 

Even better that way. 

and still a little carving on the horizontal and the vertical stabilizer. 

And as feared, without spatula, it does not work. 

A few pics of my scratchbuilt cockpit.  

The place of the navigator is ready.  

Next, I will refine the seats and build the pilot's place. 

Looks good. 

After everything was installed, I painted the cockpit with dark gray and secured with clear coat. Also, the seats got their paint and a few small details. 

This time I did not use a decal for the instruments, but printed a template on photo paper, cut it out, glued it with wood glue and painted it over with silky gloss paint. Acts better in the original, even if you then see nothing more of it. 

Finally, a little washing. Here too good to recognize the engine controls. 

The back behind the rear cockpit were filled with small lead beads of a wood glue broth. 

To secure another wall glued over it. 

Sure is sure - even a 10mm nut that fits perfectly in the fuselage, with superglue installed.
