Great Canberra mate, love that smooth paintwork...

How goes this tale of fun, paint, jovial plastic and skoals? It's been quite humourous so far 8)
This Friday I'll think I'll get a crate in and try to fly IL2 at the same time...

Someone beat me to it....even if it's a NF14 and not an NF11, which we were very interested in back in the day....
Maybe put some Swedish markings on one of the F8's?

Here's a link to the build, it's in German though.... "Roter Niklas": Armstrong Whitworth J31/Meteor NF.14, Flygvapnet, F17; 1959

Looks rather good in that colour scheme.

 

[Lucky13]

I drink to that old chap....pint, or a large brandy Squire?

She does look good in splinter camouflage!

The Royal Swedish Navy operates in the Baltic, which is probably one of the worst places on the planet to try to operate an aircraft carrier. This would not seem to be a terribly useful option.

Do tell!

I was thinking (I know, nobody's more surprised than me!), that they also ventured out in the Atlantic and North Atlantic every so often....

I wonder what one of these beauties would look like....

As much as I like the white/blue/orange, I think that one in bare metal would be more likely, like the PBY Catalina and C-47 we had....
