About product

The high-altitude RB-57D Canberra in a small scale

This kit in injection-molded polystyrene captures the American RB-57D high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft in 1:144 scale. The brand Sova Model has long devoted itself to derived and less usual versions that are hard to come by, and this machine is one of them. In the package you will find plastic parts and a decal sheet; paints and glue are not included.

The real subject and its service

The type came about by rebuilding the B-57 bomber, which was the American license-built form of the British Canberra. For flight at extreme altitudes it was given a substantially wider and thinner wing, so its silhouette differs strikingly from the production bomber. The machines served the US Air Force for strategic reconnaissance in the 1950s and 1960s, and some of them later flew under the Taiwanese flag. The long straight wing makes the finished model a recognizable piece even among the other aircraft in a display case.

What to watch out for

The span is large in relation to the fuselage, so glue the wing on a flat board and let the joint cure without a load, otherwise the dihedral will go out. Fill and sand the fuselage-to-wing transitions, because at this scale every step shows. Light and metallic shades settle best on a smoothly polished base; an airbrush will cover the areas more evenly than a brush.

Who the model suits

  • collectors of Cold War reconnaissance aircraft
  • builders of complete display runs in one scale
  • anyone interested in versions derived from the B-57 bomber
  • modelers who have no room at home for large models

The set comes unassembled and without a finish; get the glue and the paints separately.

FAQ

The scale is 1:144, so the finished aircraft will stay small; what is characteristic is above all the wide span of the wing.

It is a kit in injection-molded plastic. The parts have to be separated from the sprues, glued and painted.

It has a markedly wider wing for flight at great altitudes and reconnaissance equipment in place of the bombing armament.

An ordinary thin cement for polystyrene is enough; it is drawn into the seam and leaves no surplus.
