corsaircorp Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hello Dears ! Here I'm again ! A drama Dogge is de rigueur ! Not sure to finish this one in 2018, but whatever I dedicate this thread to a great gentleman @Ex-FAAWAFU I try the big game and bet my Bucc kit on this one ! 3 days of brainstorming about the air intake beside engine nacelle... For nuthin' It's included in the heritage kit ! Here's the start No need of these.. Will be used later, may be That will be fun I think !! I already have the Bang seats ! Sorry a mould for the bang seats ! And up we'll go ! Have a good modelling time And yes I know, I'm absolutely crazy, that point has been debated in Telford with our green alien and the stickless general ! So don't you worry I'm done ! Sincerely.

Chillidragon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I used to prefer Lea and Perrins' Fruit sauce (no longer made). Beautiful, characterful dog, BTW! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hello Dears, Just say forget about the Brown sauce because I used to hear "Rum and Brown sauce, you know how to party !!" never noticed it before, but yes ! it's made in the Netherlands Incredible ! It's almost impossible to buy it in Belgium Lea & Perrins.. The best Worcesteshire saus ever, but became also hard to find !! We now can find some pretty tasty lemon curl, orange marmelade is now a belgian classic ! Global village... But I still must cross the channel for havin' my favourite rum ! I do not need Rum to be eager to cross the channel !! must be said !! I'm going to work in the cold january rain ! fixing cars on the roadside... Have a nice modelling day ! Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hello Dears, The more I go the more I feel eager to do this one ! Or 220, but this one will be interesting too, a Rooed Bucc... Tempting !! But I prefer an all white buccaneer so... I saw one of these with 4 bullpup Under the wing.... More tempting... Well, I'll use this ! I searched but the Bucc still have the same ejection seat, S1, S2 and so on ! There's a tiny difference ! The same can be said about the tub ! Pavla seem right in size and shape ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 As usual, I did'nt put it all in one time But I managed to do this ! With this kit, we are milles away from the Walrus... Look Look mama!! there are 2 Blackburn niceties... Now making a pure S1 interior, That will help ! Ok Dears, now I will search my resin parts to find 2 look alike first stage compressors of Gyron junior Cannot let these air intake empty... Have a nice modelling time 8 Sincerely.

perdu Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) A warning my friend The pen-nib fairings need reducing for the Byron Gyron Junior engines A certain Naval Officer pointed this out to me a while ago Edited January 24, 2018 by perdu Stupid tablet thought it knew better than deHavilland :( 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I just love this! A big brutish Buccaneer, resin conversions and an "excellent" early 90-:s Airfix fit. I had the dual boxing (heh) of that kit but after completing half of one I just lost interest in it. But whenever Airfix cuts sume new metal for Buccaneers in any scale I'll be all over it! Have fun now CC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The S1 had different ejecting seats without the elevated leg guards and the different head box I dashed ahead making the moulds for the later type before I had it pointed out for me So now I have moulds for both types in 1/72th scale actual seat for S1 I'm not pretending these are perfect, they aren't but they represent what can be an easy mistake to make, or put right The early seat is similar to the seat in Lightning and Sea Vixen, I do forget stuff like mark numbers but I think the S1 should have MB 4(s?) 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Dear Colleague, Yes, these are Mk4, but there is Mk4a, Mk4m, Mk4 early... Whatever, I have Lightning bang seats and I think that I have Sea vixen's one too... Will correct it, Please what do you mean by pen-nib fairing ?? Think that I'm gonna be pranked once again Today, I'm tired to the bone, 3 towings with the vrs and 8 interventions, stone dead !!

CC I'll probably stand corrected but I believe a good example of a pen-nib fairing can be seen between the tailpipes on the Gloster Javelin T3. As the name suggests it's reminiscent of the shape of a dip-pen or fountain pen nib. Edited January 24, 2018 by JosephLalor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I am referring to the fairing at the back of each jetpipe The one on the kit is quite a large teardrop shape, when the S1 had de Havilland Gyron Juniors that fairing was the same shape but was much less in area For the smaller tailpipe the smaller fairing was in use, compare the two in photographs I don't do 'pranking' this is modelling, far too important for that kind of thing in my opinion 😠 Edited January 24, 2018 by perdu 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Oh God; horrible flash-backs to Dartmouth! Yes, even us orrff-icers had to learn how to use a Bosun’s call, and it is a LOT harder than it looks. You’d just about get that warbling malarkey sorted out in advance, but then your turn as duty victim came along and all flimsy technique would fart and fly out of the window (to quote a joke from c.1465), leaving you with nothing in your locker but a feeble wheezing sound. Instruments of Beelzebub, they are! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
