Airfix 1:48 scale Canberra B.2 - My Final Kit!

Aircraft Cold War
1

I am starting to build my last ever model, it is the Airfix 1:48 scale Canberra B.2 . As an ex-RAF Canberra groundcrew guy I am very, very disappointed with this kit and wondered what after-market items are lurking in peoples’ stashes? Lots of items that came out with the release of this kits are no longer available so, does anyone have any new items for this kit, or partially used items or decals that they’d like to sell me? I am building a T.19 of 85 Squadron and I have the radar nose, but I could do with some etched details and partially used decal sheets to make up either WH903 or WH904.

cheers,

Peter

Curious as to what the problems are with the 1/48 Airfix Canberra’s? I remember them being very well received on release. The only problem I remember is them messing up the second crew position on the PR.9.
As a former groundcrewman you definitely have more of an eye for the details, so would be interesting to know. Airfix do after all have a habit of fudging and missing things that get past the untrained eye.

Although 1/48 is usually not my scale, I’ve somehow acquired every one of the Airfix Canberra’s, so interested to hear your input on this.
