Cool choice Augie. I have the B(I)8 kit put away that I hope to do in an RNZAF scheme at some point so will be watching👍
Beware that it's a notorious tail sitter😉

Welcome Gents 🙂
James 🙂 dont worry I built one years ago of these.. Got an idea of weight needed by what failed on that one.

I'm still trying to figure out how to squeeze a house brick into that airframe to keep the nose wheel planted!😉
18 December 2020, 20:33
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Well I was going to put it as far forward as I could.. so on top of the front wheel bay if I can
18 December 2020, 20:42
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Uploaded a pic with the weight in.. its nose heavy now.. glad I didnt need the bomb bay

Augie, DO NOT use a battery, it will ruin your work after years! The battery will be completely empty, and then the wet electrolyte will find a way out and will ruin your model!
19 December 2020, 12:29
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
maybe instead of a battery - milliput putty with nuts and bolts stuck in it might be better?
19 December 2020, 14:03
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Yeah I did that with the old B(I) 8 I did, but not enough, so this time she will sit on her wheels and not on her arse.
19 December 2020, 19:20
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
One quick dry run on the undercarriage legs.. and the survey says.. she's nose heavy.. she'll sit right.

So Rudder filled of the strange lines.. and then test paint of unused parts and the chosen orange. Turns out I had the right orange for this, shame the pots older than I am but then that is a bonus as its coverage is just sublime.
20 December 2020, 12:05
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
So its together, now first coat of orange on it.. Strange to see orange on her
20 December 2020, 23:47
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
🙂 thanks Nathan, we'll see.. the orange is gonna be easy, the yellow scares the poo out of me

Hi James 🙂
Its a fairly simple kit, fell together which was a nice change lol
21 December 2020, 17:08
![](/profiles/img/46361-416-s.jpg)
Really agree with the pots of paint,older tins where designed for hairy things not blow things LOL.

Very true David, just wished It was easier to get hold of, I still find some on ebay, but its getting harder.
21 December 2020, 18:08
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Yeah its difficult, I have done a few comparisons of paint on here on various threads.. Will see if I can find them
21 December 2020, 21:34
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
So incorrect oval vents sanded from canopy, only one to go back on.. Pe.. to clear plastic.. this aint gonna go well.
22 December 2020, 22:58
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Busy busy busy.. wings have now had first coats, and black stripes are on..
25 December 2020, 15:40
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Hi Roland, thats just masking tape 🙂 Protecting the fuselage if I have to touch up anything on the top of the wings.
She's now on her wheels and weight wise was perfect, she sat on her wheels properly 🙂
26 December 2020, 20:23
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Thanks David, came out better than I expected.. found using future to stick the PE worked nicely.
I think tomorrow will be time to start decals.
26 December 2020, 21:23

You are THE master of the hairy thing Augie. I can't achieve such a shiny yellow surface with the airbrush. It's unbelievable! Carry on!
26 December 2020, 21:24
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Thanks Maciej, Took about 4 coats to get that, Humbrol 69 mixed with retarder and leveller (same as they do for airbrushes) and let it build
26 December 2020, 21:29
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
Always jaw dropping to see Augie's brush work. This is turning into my favorite Canberra paint scheme.
26 December 2020, 22:19
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
Way to go Augie! Such a large beast! Those upper wing crosses are huge! I thought the Germans used an al orange Canberra, but I am sure that your scheme is also correct. Sort of gives it a split personality! Kind regards, Dutch
28 December 2020, 14:04
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Hi Dutch 🙂 thanks m8. Your right, they were orange all over. However 99 + 34 had an accident and caught fire damaging the wings beyond repair. So they bought a pair from the RAF and replaced them.. and didnt repaint lol
28 December 2020, 14:12
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Canopy outlining done, canberra's have a sealant that runs around the canopy, no decals for it so heres my first attempt putting it on by hand.
28 December 2020, 18:36
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
So as Tyu pointed out to me in PM, I have two too many crosses on the wings... Not sure I can get the crosses up, and to be honest, I kinda like having the 4 on.. thoughts?
28 December 2020, 23:05
![](/profiles/img/11761-776-s.jpg)
I vote to leave them! They are large to paint over the former 48" RAF roundels. That's my story.
28 December 2020, 23:23
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
microset claims to remove decals but.... I'd leave it as is, it's a beautiful bird.
29 December 2020, 00:05
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Hi Roland, according to the guide, it has two top, two bottom as it would when all over orange.
Dutch, I like your thinking to be honest 🙂
Ben, indeed I have read same, but these decals are really thin
Thanks guys, I'm happy with it with them and as others like em.. they can stay 😄
29 December 2020, 00:13
![](/profiles/img/65866-287-s.jpg)
Good call Augie. I did something similar to my F-14 and trying to correct it would of caused me more trouble than it was worth. Looking stunning btw👍
29 December 2020, 19:48
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Thanks James 🙂
Got a few more decals to go, mainly walkways etc but yeah she looks surprisingly good for un weathered.
29 December 2020, 19:53
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Lol thanks Don 🙂 Yeah I think the news feeds are slightly screwy, I keep almost missing builds too 🤔
29 December 2020, 21:04
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
So yea, more decals.. turns out after finding a picture of a sister to the wing donor, they had yellow walk ways.. so out comes the thin decal lines and time to make some

Thanks Topsy, I never got to fly in one, but got flown over by enough of them (Wyton)
1 January 2021, 00:41
![](/profiles/img/74932-563-s.png)
Thats where I worked on them on 360 sqdn. Trying to pin down a T17, they're a bit rare
1 January 2021, 01:02
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Ooo small world eh, T.17's rare as the perverbial, some conversion options.. what scale you after? there is a 1:48 one available from a member on here?
1 January 2021, 02:05
![](/profiles/img/74932-563-s.png)
Lol yes very small. Yes I saw that and it is exactly what I was looking for. However have just ordered the only one I could find from Portugal and for less, including postage, than the member was asking,so thats worked well. Get my Wessie 5 finished and that should arrive just right. So when were you at Wyton Augie?
1 January 2021, 02:25
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Oh I've not served, I've lived in the area all my life and spent my first years at the end of alconbury's runway.. thats what got me interested in aircraft 🙂

HNY.I work beside Newcastle airport in the north east and you get all RAF types doing touch and go's,seen everything over the years.
1 January 2021, 08:56
![](/profiles/img/74932-563-s.png)
Ah Augie a nieghbour of Mr Major lol. Plenty of U2 flying over your house then!
Hi Dave, thats interesting, Newcastle must be a back up airfield for the military then.
1 January 2021, 13:26
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Lol yea thats about right Topsy, long time ago before they turned it into a container park.
1 January 2021, 15:08
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
So more stripes on the other wing, and the cut line around the canopy, had to make my own the kit ones were utter shit, and out of register.
1 January 2021, 15:09
![](/profiles/img/11503-886-s.jpg)
Cockput buttoned together, and.. slight weathering done.. I think she's done!
2 January 2021, 13:34

Thanks Roland 🙂 this one was a lot of fun, I think I need to stick with doing the oddballs
