Those seats look the bee's knees, and they are a perfect complement to the wonderful job you did in your 'pit, Massimo I still can't believe how easily they slided into place and stuck to their position!!! I think we've both done a good job, as none of us had any precise idea in terms of size of what the other one was doing and we both got to the same dimensions!!! I hope you can appreciate it from my pictures, if you look how much clearence there's around each seat...may be a hair!!! Well done Bill!!!

perdu Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I am glad you like them Massimo, I won't ask for them back tee hee Do not forget mine were made to fit the same model but more to the point they were designed to fit 'The Blackburn Buccaneer in 1/72 scale' If they didn't fit I would have been very annoyed I do think you should consider shaving some of the tubey bits at the back just a fraction, so it/they sit/s a little less snugly otherwise I am pleased that you like them You are very welcome to them, let me know if you ever need any more (I do like how nicely they sit in there too, well built sir) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway they may have not fitted at all!! It's already happened to me and other friends to get a mainstream resin seat meant to be dedicated to a kit and to have to shave it off here and there before they could fit!!! Del Boy would say...."LOVELY JOBLY" !!! Edited February 16, 2018 by massimo2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much rich food ( ) and sunshine ( ) I think as fried your memory..see post 346 on page 14! What you've done looks just fine and as you say its mostly hidden when the windscreen and wipers is on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hallo guys, Today I finally decided it was time to add some colour to the Buccaner interior. Blackfirst, then grey, then Future, then Tamiya back panel liner, then lighter dry brushing...Right side Left side Then final detail with different colours and it was time to add some decals. Final result. Tomorrow I may start thinking about the seats!!! Good night!!! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I painted cartridge paper in the gold and blue colours I should probably have given the goldenness less emphasis, but it is simply stuck on with cockpit glue or in places cyano I am confident you will have them looking a lot better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massimo Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Good evening, just a small update. Today I concentrated on the seats' painting. They're nearly finished, just the ejection handles and some buckles for the seat belts to be added. But that'll be done next weekend Tomorrow I'm flying to Montreal so...I'm not expecting big progress... Here are a few pictures showwing the different stages. Good night!!! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massimo Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Good morning, after having spent some time considering different aspects of buccaneer canopy on Bill's topic (Perdu), it's time for a small update. to commemorate the Buccaneers deployment in Canada for what was a Canadian version of the Red Flag called Maple Flag (if I remember correctly!) I brought my Bucc with me to Montreal, where I appear to be at the moment.So , even if it looks ugly once finished, I'll be at least in a position to say it flew to Canada as the real things did some years ago!!! Anyway, I was here. After cutting the airbrake shells I had glued them to a piece of plastic card . Before going to the airport , I decided to add some material at the end as they looked too short.I used CA superglue and some flour, as I normally do. Yesterday, due to the jet leg, I got up at 2,30 AM and decided it was a good occasion for some modelling!!! So I cut along the shapes I had drawn and , immediately after doing so, I realized... ...they were both right handers!!!Could have stayed in bed!!! Never mind, I'll add a new finlet. After some filing and sanding I got here! I cut two more shapes off thinner plastic card, to create my version of the Airwave PE sides. From these new shapes, I drew the outlines of the parts to be cut and glued to the interior sides. Last night, after work, I went on with the airbrakes ' detailling. After some cutting drilling and sanding, this is what I got. Now I'll have to wait until i go back home to add some rivets, as my Rosie The riveter wasn't of the party! On the airbrakes' outside, there seems to be a thicker area, which I decided to recreate by adding a plastic card shaped plate...itisn't much of an idea, and it won't be easy to let it bend to match the airbrake round shape. I started by glueing the plates to one side. During the night I happened to go to the toilet , so I poured ed some Tamiya green cap glue into the joint to try to soften the sard and perform the miracle... but the miracle didn't perform and the card bent on a straight line... This morning I cut the plates to their final shape and started filing. I added some CA superglue in some points, where I saw some recesses. It'll work as filler. That's it for now. Hope tonight I'm not too tired and can go on with the filing. Ciao Massimo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) do you know, I thought earlier that you mentioned that you took the model away with you, but now confirmed by taking it to Montreal. That is nuts, but glad you get away with it! Do you ever get the hotels mentioning the smell of glue or paint when you leave?! Lovely progress on both the cockpit and the airbrakes detail.
