English Electric Canberra / B-57

26.8k RASEN1914  7.4 years ago

1:1 Historical replica of the English Electric Canberra, a.k.a B-57. The English Electric Canberra is a British first-generation jet-powered medium bomber (and the first of it´s class) that was manufactured during the 1950s.

The Canberra proved to be highly adaptable, serving in varied roles such as tactical bombing and photographic and electronic reconnaissance. Canberras served in the Suez Crisis, the Vietnam War, the Falklands War, the Indo-Pakistani wars, and numerous African conflicts. In several wars, each of the opposing sides had Canberras in their air forces. The Canberra had a lengthy service life, serving for more than 50 years with some operators. In June 2006, the RAF retired the last of its Canberras, 57 years after its first flight. Three of the Martin B-57 variant remain in service, performing meteorological work for NASA, as well as providing electronic communication testing for deployment to Afghanistan.

This one is painted with the Nº 73 Sqn RAF, which served in Akrotiri (Cyprus) in the early 50's

    @RASEN1914 Awesome, thank you! Is it possible for you to make a Mitsubishi G3M Nell (please below 220 pieces) without a payload so I can put my custom torp on it. Thanks mate, have a great day.
