Clifford Keesler AutorThank you all very much.@James I will be upset if it does wind up a tail sitter, I put 6oz , 200g of lead in the nose, on top of the nose wheel well and under the cockpit floor. My B-57B wound up a tail sitter with 100g in the nose, so I put the tail stand under it and super glued it to a dio. base. LOL.

Clifford Keesler AutorThanks Gordon. Fuselage is closed up,and I have assembaled engine nachells, and added panel lines and rivet detail to horozintal stabs.

Bryn CrandellAnother great build Clifford! What color scheme are you thinking of going with?

Bill GilmanLooking good! My 1:72 PR.9 had 26 grams of ballast, plus 12 grams of resin cockpit/nose up front and she sat on her nose wheel like a proper lady. I suspect yours will be OK with 200 grams! 🙂

Clifford Keesler AutorThe fit has been good, until I went to put the wings on. Huge gaps on the bottom side, but I think that it was me not the kit, as the wings on my B-57B fit just fine.

Clifford Keesler AutorThanks Martien. Hit a bit of a snag today, went to apply primer coat, and for some reason it orange peeled really bad. Must of been the weather, cool and rainy. Any way will have to sand it off, remove all the scratches and try again.

Clifford Keesler AutorThey were poseable, all the control surfaces are, including the flaps. She is all painted now, Satin black undersides, with Medium sea gray upper surfaces. I applied the clear gloss coat today, so it is curing. Next decals.

Wilfried BogaertsBeautiful, and it's not even finished! This was always one of my favorite aircraft at airshows 👍

Clifford Keesler AutorThank you all very much. I had to re-glue the lower fuselage today, clumsy me dropped it while removing the wash from the belly. It is now repaired and I have applied the pin wash to the black portions.

Clifford Keesler AutorI put 8oz's of lead in the nose of this thing, and it is still a tail sitter. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG! Guess it will be going on a base. LOL.

Wilfried BogaertsThat much nose weight and only minor damage after you dropped it? That's a real solid construction you have there Cliff, respect! 👍 Too bad about the tail sitting though 🙁 but I'm sure you'll fix it

Clifford Keesler AutorThanks guys,and Gal. I will get it worked out. All the bits are on now, just need to do final weathering.

Clifford Keesler AutorI want another one, they just released another one, which I could of built from this kit, as it contained the markings. I hope the new one has better decals though. Decals on this one,while useable were rather a pain. I am constructing a base for it, and have raided the spares box for some figures, so will be making it a Diorma.

Clifford Keesler AutorThank you all very much. I have figures to add to the base just need to finish painting them.
5 June 2017, 22:08
Clifford Keesler AutorThanks Donald. It now has both tip tanks, and figures on the base. I will put some pictures up later. I am going tomorrow to an Air Show at Scott Air Force Base. The Thunder Birds will be there. Looking forward to it. They haven't had an airshow in 6 years.

Robert W MartelNice Clifford. I've looked at this kit many times, but I just don't remember the aircraft, so I don't have it on my list anymore.

Clifford Keesler AutorAirfix just came out with a new one, It is this aircraft, but with new decals. One of the marking opitons for this kit, is the boxart for the new release. You can find it at Airfix USA.com. or the hobbyshops on line. I went to an airshow yesterday and saw the Thunderbirds. There was a RAF Airbus A-400 there, 2 F-35's one of them came off the production line only 2 months ago. They were USAF F-35's so I think they were the "A" model. In real life it is a pretty wicked bird. There was also a B-2 Spirit. and a brand new C-130K. But my favoriate was a immacautley restored Mig-17 that stole the show. All the aircraft from the movie "TORA.TORA.TORA" were there also and they re-in acted the attack on Pearl Harbor, complete with loud explosions and big clouds of black smoke.

DutchHey Clifford, NICE build. I have been eyeing this kit myself. I am a BIG Canberra (R/WB-57F) fan. I have a couple in 1/72, but none in 1/48. Nice work. My production has been nil this year, been doing too much business travel and home (1:1) repairs. Keep up the great work, you're motivating us all. R/ Dutch

Clifford Keesler AutorThanks much Dutch. I plan on doing another one, but this one will be a USAF B-57A.
10 August 2017, 22:28
Clifford Keesler AutorYes either that or a NMF one with the Artic (RED) markings. I have an all black B-57B.
