 This is what's been occupying what's time I have available.
 Twin 50 mm EDF.
 Laser cut kit with building jigs. Fuselage is planked with 3/32 x 1/4 strips.(Lots).

Where the Canberra is at.
Sanding, priming, sanding.
Outer wings are not attached.
Some more fettling to do with mounting the engines.

Outstanding models. I want to see a video of the first flight and more build photos.

 Will do.

 Mounting the engines and putting in the governs is next on the agenda.

 When all that's done I will hand it over to the paint shop.

 Cheers

For a bit of motivation I've started to put some paint on.
Wobbly bits are in the process of being sorted out.

The Canberra is nearly done. Need to just add the canopy and nose transparencies then a cleanup to minimise hangar rash.

The water line model of HMAS Sydney (II) has been passed to my grandson who immediately put in his Dad's
display cabinet.

The Vosper MTB needs the running gear and rudder installed and a cleanup.

Cheers

That is an awesome Canberra. When will she fly? Please post more photos of your Vosper and HMAS Sydney.

The Canberra and Vosper are deemed finished.

 Everything hand painted.

 Will be handed over to my son to do the final fettling on both.

 Cheers

What scale is your Vosper and HMAS Sydney?

Louis

The Vosper is 1/32 from the Glynn Guest plan and the Sydney is from a water line plan that picked up on Ebay years ago - not sure of scale. The Walrus was done with a bit of artistic license.

 The Grandson put in straight into their display case.

The Canberra had its maiden flight a few weeks ago.
Flown by my son.

Looked the part.

Three attempts at landing. She definitely floats.

Pretty impressed with his flying skill.

So to the next cab on the rank.

Cheers

It's great to see an airplane in its natural habitat! Excellent work!
