Jamie, you're a scholar and a gentleman, many thanks in advance for supporting my humble west coast design shop! Working on the next pack as we speak...something with a little more TinBalls so to speak

I love the B.2 pack so I just bought and downloaded the B.1 pack as well. Couldn't resist for only $5!

**nazca_steve** · November 2nd, 2010, 13:39

Thanks a lot, mate, hope you enjoy the B.1s as much - they're somewhat more peaceful looking than their production cousins - classy you might say. Personally speaking I've always been a huge fan of VN799 in Petter Blue; the original that started it all. Clean lines all over. That's all about to change soon though as we progress down the path of Canberra history.

**Wing_Z** · November 2nd, 2010, 17:25

Very clean...

**Wing_Z** · November 2nd, 2010, 17:29

I don't know what it is about this model.
I mean, I don't usually...

**nazca_steve** · November 2nd, 2010, 17:35

Poor old unlucky 13, I have to admit, I have a penchant for her too, although it doesn't involve ploughing her into a building, lol! Lovely screens, especially that shot of VN799 front on, brilliant backdrop. What scenery is that by the way?

**Wing_Z** · November 2nd, 2010, 17:44

Scenery is Real New Zealand Marlborough

**nazca_steve** · November 2nd, 2010, 17:51

Beautiful - no doubt worth every penny of that $15. Love the photo real grass textures.

**Wing_Z** · November 2nd, 2010, 18:09

Yeah! and that's Kiwi $, about 10 bucks US.
Just needs a B1(12) to go with it!

What's the function in RL of the donut on the left front side of the perspex? A vent? A deicer?

**nazca_steve** · November 2nd, 2010, 19:23

It's called the Direct Vision panel, or DV panel, and essentially served as clear-vision port in case the main canopy misted up heavily. It had two heating filaments running across to keep the glass clear. It could be opened, and hinged downwards, so also served the purpose of letting some badly-needed fresh air into the cockpit on hot days on the tarmac.

In many ways, it's the 'eye' of the Canberra, and one of the things that gives it some of the much-loved character.

B(I).12 indeed...well, depending on how these upcoming packs go, that might be a possibility, otherwise if I attempted it my wife would probably divorce me!

Just a few screenshots from my first flight:

**ZsoltB** · November 4th, 2010, 06:29

Thank you!

**nazca_steve** · November 4th, 2010, 12:18

Love the screens, chaps, really nice stuff there. Thanks for picking up the pack.

**ZsoltB** · November 4th, 2010, 12:41

There will be other Canberra types as well?

**nazca_steve** · November 4th, 2010, 13:35

Yes, quite a lot more to come, hopefully in the very near future! I'll keep you posted...

***modelr*** · November 7th, 2010, 04:25

I get a "Payloadz page unavailable" message when I try to purchase.

**edmoore235** · November 7th, 2010, 05:41

Purchased the B.1 pack - wow, just $5.00 - worth the price and a whole lot more too. Thanks for all your fine work.

Take care.

Thanks a lot, Ed for supporting the cause, and glad the price suited your wallet! These are hard times for a lot of us, and I figure 'budget payware' will help keep the ball rolling.

Modelr, please let me know if you are still having problems - I checked the page just now and all was fine, so it might have been a temporary glitch.
