Airfix will be celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the first flight of the English Electric Canberra with the re-release of their classic quarter scale kit with bonus marking options

”Released to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first flight of the Canberra prototype, these two new 1/48th scale English Electric Canberra kit additions include the original decal options which feature in the existing A10101A kit, but also now feature either the B(I)6 Boscombe Down decals (A10101B), or the T.4 trainer option with (A1010C). Both kits are available to pre-order on the Airfix website now and are scheduled for an Autumn release. We would also like to point out that the kits themselves do not include additional alternative parts, but do benefit from the new decal scheme options and will be a limited edition release – only a relatively low number of each kit will be available, so please secure your example early. In this year of the Canberra, these two attractive new scheme options help to commemorate the achievements of one of Britain’s greatest aircraft.”
