B-57B Canberra Bomber

The Canberra was the first British jet bomber, developed in the late 1940s and first flying in 1951. It proved very popular on the export market, due to its ability to outrun early jet interceptors and obvious performance advantages over piston-engined bombers.

The B-57 is an American export variant; the B-57B added four cannons (or eight machine guns), outboard pylons, a new cockpit, and a rotary bomb bay.

Though originally built in the 50s, NASA still operates a version of these for high-altitude research due to their much larger payload capacity compared to other suitable aircraft. They found them so useful that they brought one out of mothballs in 2011 - 41 years after it was put in storage!

Takeoff under full load may be problematic. Back up first.
Landing gear are weaksauce.

Built because I freaking felt like it.

Credits to CCCanyon for the cluster bomb design. I put more grenades in it.

1x scale. It's actually surprisingly small.

One thing about the Canberra is that it was surprisingly agile - and so is this replica.
