maltadefender Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Mine's definitely going to be a Granby model, I've lived in Bahrain for the past four years and flown in and out of Muharraq more times than I care to mention. Probably just straight out of the box Airfix, but there's time enough yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 what scale, im going at some point to do a 1/48 and a 1/72 pink one, now i have loads (the whole sheet) of decals for the 1/48 but i need some for the 1/72 it would be nice if we all did a different one, but i guess many will go with the 1/72 kit decals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilfish Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well, bit the bullet and just ordered a load of bits from Hannants. Decided to get a detailing kit for the interior rather than replacing it altogether. Also got exterior kit, seats and flaps. I think I'll stick with the kit Navy decals.

Tiger331 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Recently started a 1:48 Buccaneer S.1 using the Heritage intakes......I need some motivation to continue with it so it looks like the GB may be the answer. Hope to finish it in the overall white scheme (what else ?) with 809 NAS markings. Tiger331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilfish Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Result! Got home and there it was. Lovely box of bits. Some nice resin seats and flaps, a PE interior kit and PE exterior kit. Decided against a full resin cockpit as the kit one isn't too bad, just needs tarting up, and the canopy is going to be closed anyway. Most of the exterior kit won't be used either as a lot of it is for the wing folds and I plan to have the wings down. Oh well, it means I'll have to get another one in the future....what a shame, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundown Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I would like to take part in the Buccaneer GB but have never done a group build before. Hopefully I'm not too late to take part?! As you can see I'm a forum noob and would like to know how it works and what I need to do to get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'm not too late to take part?! As you can see I'm a forum noob and would like to know how it works and what I need to do to get involved. Hi Sundown, I hope I'm not stealing Mark's thunder - but welcome to Britmodeller , and thanks for inquiring about this GB. This GB has been running for less that a week, so you're by not means late. This one goes on until 26 Feb 2011. The idea is that you build a model Buccaneer, and post pictures and commentary of your progress as you go along. Other posters will comment , encourage and banter in good nature as your model progresses. Look at a few threads on this GB, or look at my Jag GB thread http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8105 to see how it works. On completion you will be able to post photos to the Completed Bricks thread and be eligible to take part in any wrapping-up activities - such as a competition for best model. Hope that explains everything - and we hear from you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
