JagRigger Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the comments folks - next up will be either the Wessex or the Gannet. At the moment the Gannet is winning, but the small decals are driving me crazy.... Edited October 24, 2016 by JagRigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hello Jag, If you are able to complete this (Buccaneer) aircraft from Airfix, consider yourself a good modeler. And yes, you did a very good job. I did build two (Navy-Air Force) so I know what you had to overcome. Regards, Dirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 A beautiful Buccaneer (mind you, aren't they all?) in one of my favourite schemes. The detail in the wheel bays and air-brakes is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I particular remember a scene, where a (new?) pilot is trying to land his Buccaneer on the Ark Royal and after 3 attempts is told that if he doesn't make it the next time, it will be his last and he will have to return to base. AFAIR he does make it! Cheers Hans J PS please be gentle with me, if it turns out it was a F-4 instead of a 'Bucc' - memory isn't what it used to be (now where did I put those glasses? ) It's funny you should mention that scene from Sailor because I remember it too from the 1970s and was convinced it was a Phantom pilot who was having the problems catching a wire, until just recently when I found the scene on You Tube and it was indeed a Buccaneer. Memory is a strange thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn is correct about the rocket pods but what's that amongst us lovers of a classic FAA jet. A quick role change to get the armourers doing things they do best, and do well. Keep up the lovely work. Cheers mate. albamac (frustrated Norseman).....still sailing Ah, if the armourers had done the thing they do best why does it have the wrong armarment? Taxi....

flyingpiggy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm disappointed...I thought I had bought all the worlds existing copies of the Airfix Buccaneers!! (Only to never build em all) looks every bit a Fly Navy Bucc to me fantastic semi gloss finish - just right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
