1/600 SS Canberra (Airfix)
In this kit of the Canberra I utilized my pet method of creating windows
from strips of black transfer with the frames overpainted in white.
By the time I gave up counting I had fixed well over 200 individual transfers
with many left to go on. To represent the Windbreakers on the upper
deck I used clear acetate sheet with white framing painted on using a spring
bow. The motor boats and “bathtub” boats were adapted from
QEII boats that were cut down to size. Many of the details were picked
up by studying the pictures on the Canberra Web Site. The pictures
of the Canberra being broken, (posted on the same web-site), up were most
distressing!!
