The interdictor version that's available here, is not accurate.

 

The 'fixed' mod version, with the gunpod on/in the bombay hasn't been released yet...

 

please note, in the screenie below, it too far forward. That's been fixed, as has the loadouts (too many bombs - at least for Indian versions)

The one in the SF2 download section is thanks to Spinners

[MigBuster 2,884]

The B(I)mk6, mk8, mk66, mk12, mk58 are all in the SF2 section with rudimentary gunpack and no internal guns

I must post each new question in this section??

Wow a whole thread in honor of Agostino!

 

Anyway, Agostino seems to be someone who just tries out all the available downloads. And then asks around to try to fix the bugs. An effective beta tester if you ask me.

I think all canberras we have the capacity built Transpose

Guns: 4× 20 mm Hispano Mk.V cannons mounted in rear bomb bay (500 rounds/gun), Or 2× 0.30 in (7.62 mm) machine gun pods.

 

 

Even if you're going to bomb a target at more than 20,000 feet will not need them.

 

 

AFAIK None of the Canberras had internal guns - wing mounted or otherwise.

 

The Interdictor variants (designated B(I)) could carry a removable belly mounted Hispano 20mm gun pack in the rear part of the bomb bay.

 

 

The American B-57s on the other hand did have internal guns in the wings.
