AMP – 7202LIM – English Electric Canberra B.6

Description:

The AMP 7202LIM is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit of the English Electric Canberra B.6, produced by AMP Models, a brand known for releasing detailed kits of classic and sometimes lesser-known aircraft. This kit is a limited edition (hence the “LIM” in the product code), aimed at hobbyists who enjoy building Cold War-era military aircraft with historical significance.

The real English Electric Canberra B.6 was a British jet-powered medium bomber developed in the late 1940s and became one of the first jet bombers to enter service. The B.6 variant, introduced in the early 1950s, featured more powerful Avon 109 engines, increased fuel capacity, and improved avionics compared to earlier models. It had a sleek, clean design and excellent high-altitude performance, and was capable of carrying a wide variety of conventional bombs. The Canberra B.6 served with the RAF and several allied air forces and had a long operational life, with some airframes even adapted for reconnaissance and electronic warfare.

AMP’s model kit of the Canberra B.6 typically includes finely molded parts, detailed cockpit interiors, and optional external stores. Depending on the specific boxing, it may offer multiple decal options for RAF squadrons or even foreign operators. It’s a great choice for modelers interested in Cold War aviation, especially those who appreciate the transitional era between propeller-driven bombers and the modern jet age.

Originally an S&M Models kit tooled in 2017. S&M Models is out of the business and since then kit has been updated and released under Mikro-Mir and AMP brands. Kit include a large number of PE parts, self adhesive paint mask and decal sheet with two British markings.
