Steve,

I think I'll do a Argentine T.4 (I forget their designation, T.64 was it?), perhaps it was B-111, I'll check tonight. This will follow my planned 231 OCU camo birds.

According to the Canberra 'Bible', Barry Jones' book, the Argentine Air Force had two T64s modified from RAF T4s. They were B-111 (ex-WT476) and B-112 (ex-WJ875)

They also contracted for another modified T4, designated a T94, that was XH583 but it was embargoed due to the Falklands War.

According to my complete Britsh Cvil register there were two Mark 62

G-AYHO ex G-27-111 c/n HP183B that became B101
G-AYHP ex G-27-112 c/n 71234 that became B102

It doesn't give the RAF serials

Looks great Steve, any news of a release for this? I do not think we ever discovered if it had a vc either :tuttut:

First up, thanks for the postive feedback everyone, I was up till 1am last night on that one...this hobby borders on obsession sometimes

Getting the camo to line up is a somewhat painstaking feat as I'm sure many painters here know well.

Release dates: I just heard from Paul that he has about another week left to wrap up the rest of his models before I see them...not sure yet if he plans to release them with his paints at that point, or if we are going to work together some more before final release. I will say that the list is pretty comprehensive and very exciting for Cranberry fans...he's even re-doing the B(I).8, PR.9 and T.17 models as well as various B.2/6 and PR.3/7 types.

VC: There is no VC at the moment...I think he has his hands tied with external modelling so we'll make do with 2D for now.

ARGENTINE T.64/2s: THanks to all for the code research, I'm hoping to do B-111 later today with some other camo RAF schemes.

All for now,

Steve

p.s. keep your eyes peeled for an sneak look at Paul's T.22 later today or this coming week.

Mr Jones says that G-AYHO was WJ616 and became B-101 in the FAA and
G-AHYP was WJ713 and became B-102. They only had the civvie reggies for the duration of the Farnborough Show of 1970 while Bee was flying them in the display. (I think I was there too, bells ringing...)

There are 8 more B62s mentioned in the book, but I don't think I'll fill the posting with the serials unless anyone's really gripped by them

but if T.4s can really be rigged for bombing (as I've read) how would the nav visually aim when the nose is solid? Just release and hope?

Steve,
It was done with radio signals,and position 'fixes',and map+stopwatch.

(Even in WW2 the Germans were using radio bombing,as was RAF bomber command, look here --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oboe_(navigation)

If you're not sick of the Cranberry, what T.4 livery would you like to see done?
