Arrow B 57 Canberra Finished

Howdy Guys and Gals,

Ok, remember the thread "Can you identify this model company?" , wherein I asked for your assistance in finding out abit about a soviet era plastic model kit of the Canberra? Well, if you remember, the model was molded in bright yellow and I had almost resigned myself to not building it.
Fortunately, I couldnt stand it any longer, so I built it. Using two tones of primer gray paint and flat black along with a very wide assortment of "decal scraps" (left overs from other models), as well as the wire from the "tie twists" from bread wrappers for antennae and pitot tubes(note the red flagging on the pitots). I decided to create a "not true to life" version of the USAF B 57 Canberra Medium Range Bomber.
Anyway, now it is complete and I am happy with the result considering it is a collection of scrap parts, and a model which was covered with "flash" (excess plastic around part edges). So, here are a few pics of the completed kit:







Anyway, it turned out well enough for me to want to show it off lol.

Have a good day,

Greg
