This is the second of my projected builds for this GB, the ultimate fighter Canberra.
The main source kit is the Airfix Canberra B(I)8, and with Colin Freighdog's P.12 conversion added to start off. I'm also using some Matchbox PR9 wings (which are longer....) and which will have an increased chord as well. Some shortened Northrop Scorpion F-89H tip tanks will be fitted to carry a trio of Firestreaks on each side. The forward bomb bay will hold some Hasegawa F-102 missile pylons which will carry a brace of Genie nuclear missiles, and the rear bomb bay will have the Double Scorpion rocket pack from Colin's conversion. The Red Deans will be carried on mid wing pylons. It won't be short of weapons........

As the poor Cranberry will be taxed to get this lot off the ground it'll have bigger turbo-fan engines, some 1/144 GE CF6s from my airliner resin engine collection.
To guild the lily I've also fitted the Pavla resin cockpit conversion intended for the PR9, but I've sawn the front half off as it interferes with the P.12 radome.
Here's the first build pic showing the Pavla insert in position. It's a REAL pain getting it in place as there are no locating marks, and I had to jury fit the cockpit coaming and fit the Pavla bit underneath before taking the coaming off again. The Scorpion tip tank is shown full length (it's LONGER than the Canberra's engines!

) before I saw it down, and the PR9 wing is shown with the Airfix wheel bays glued in place.

Oh yes, B(F)8?
That's because there are no spare Canberra Mark numbers and it started off as a B(I)8, so now it's a fighter version of the same Mark.
Yeah, right..........
