Meet the Canberra CC Mk-5. of the Far east comms squadron, as seen while visting Danang, veitnam in 1965.

Frog cranberry wings , wheels ect. married to one of TRSjoes test shots for the passenger Canberra.  Now may be he will release it under his spot on brand now.
I always hope for the best.

Damn, now I'm going to have to find a library that has lots of 50-year old issues of Aviation Week to find the mockup pics of the B-57 "personnel transport" version Martin proposed.

Good'un, Martin.

Looking good there Martin, considering you only had a test shot !!!!. Be interesting to see what people come up with when the spot on version is released considering what people have done the Huntsman. B)

Good bit of modelling though :)

:wub: Congratulations! Nice airliner... while maybe BOAC or BEA colours would have been even more original, no? It is great anyway, thanks for this pearl... :)

Another one enters the real world from the depths of Martin's WIP box - you have made a swan from an ugly duckling there Martin, but what's happend to the Siskin ?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I checked last night when I got home, there's a pic of a company model in MATS markings, a couple of pics of the interior mock up & a drawing of the interior layout for some kind of electronic warfare trainer, I can scan 'em if you like, just let me know
