English Electric Canberra was the back bone for bombing and photo reconnaissance. The Canberra first saw service in the UN operation of liberation of the Republic of Katanga, 1971 Indo-Pak war and Finally Kargil War were it took a hit from a Stinger Missile but still made it home.  Having served the Indian Air Force for more than 50 years its was retired on May 11 2007

The Airfix Kit was a gem to work with, fit was perfect needing minimum of putty and sanding.  Though the cockpit fit was a little bit of a fight and I had to add enough lead weight to sink the Titanic.  Other wise it was a breeze to put together.  I used Humbrol Enamels to paint, added a coat of Future and washed the panel lines with pastel chalk. Decals are from brightspark. 

Overall a great build.
