chris57 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) No date, that's handy, gives me time to off load my Magna one. Must check my ModelArt decals. Checked out No's 17 & 31 fit the bill Edited January 22, 2015 by chris57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Oooh, I found a pic of one carrying a torpedo the other day and was just thinking it's a pity there isn't a reasonably priced kit....

Col. Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Amen to that! Now, anyone want to guess when they'll come up with a 1/72 Buccaneer?!? Mark. Round about the time Duncan has made significant progress with an Airfix one I'd say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Round about the time Duncan has made significant progress with an Airfix one I'd say. Almost guaranteed!

DAG058 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 This looks excellent! I can not wait for this. 1/72 is just perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Definitely up for one of these. Wonder if it'll have a folded wings option ? Now just need an FG.1 Phantom II from the Airfix folks and the forthcoming Tanmodel S.2 Buccaneer to go with it. Tony 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That box art almost makes you think you can duck your head and feel the wing flash overhead, doesn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomW Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 That's just typical, I finally converted a FROG Gannet with the Aeroclub conversion last year and now there's going to be a IM one. Regards Tom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I was lamenting not buying one of Alley Cat's resin kits, and now Sword has come to the rescue. The box art looks great! Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
