A resin instrument panel for the English Electric Canberra PR Mk.9 in 1:48 scale from CMK will bring out the cockpit of an injection-molded kit without the need to work with photo-etched parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a model of an aircraft, but a resin interior accessory. It replaces the instrument panel of an injection-molded kit of the reconnaissance Canberra in 1:48 scale with a casting that has the instruments, bezels and controls rendered in relief. The solution suits modelers who want to raise the cockpit quickly and do not want to bend photo-etched parts.
The English Electric Canberra was a British twin-engine jet bomber designed shortly after the Second World War. The PR Mk.9 version was a specialized reconnaissance conversion with a markedly enlarged wing area and more powerful engines, which allowed it to work at great altitudes. A characteristic feature was the offset pilot's station with a sliding fighter-type canopy and the separate station of the navigator in the nose, which was entered through a hinged nose. Machines of this version remained in British service for an exceptionally long time and were among the last Canberras operated at all.
First wash the casting with lukewarm soapy water and let it dry. Cut the casting block off with a saw and level the back side so that the panel sits in the right position in the fuselage, ideally after a dry fit before the halves of the fuselage are glued together. Spray the base in dark gray or black according to the base you use for British cockpits of the era, and then draw the instruments out with a dry brush in a lighter shade. Once dry, the dials can be brought out with a drop of clear gloss varnish, which imitates glass. We recommend reckoning with the fact that the cockpit will be visible only with the canopy open.
This is an accessory for modelers, not a standalone kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
