Airfix 1/48th Martin EB-57B

Hi All

Just finished this "simple" conversion of the Airfix B-57 kit . Been wanting to make this for a while after seeing a lot of the both over here an in the States during the 70's , always like the scheme

Started as mentioned with the basic Airfix B-57 , and bought the Lone Stare Models conversion along with a CMK cockpit which fits the kit a treat just had to slightly modify the rear panel for the EW fit and add ESCAPAC seats , the LSM conversion is OK , but I think the parts are a bit over scale but it represents the additions for the EW fit , decals for a Vermont ANG machine are all from the spares box

Xtracolor enamel and Alclad varnish used through out

Thanks for looking

Very nice. I really like a Canberra/B-57 with a fighter type canopy, any plans to do a tooled up camouflaged one ?

Having the canopy in that position in the middle, and a twin seat long version, makes that plane look so much better than the RAF versions I reckon. The PR9 looks brilliant to me, until you look at it head on! Appreciate the reasons for it, just me and my love of aesthetics
