TimJ Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Back in the 1980's (before I discovered sprue cutters) I started to build a Matchbox Buccaneer. Then, for some reason lost in the mists of time, I stopped. I'm hoping this GB will give me the necessary push to get it finished. I had done some assembly but this is as far as I got. Here's the box, instructions, decals and the other parts. I've also got some aftermarket bits and bobs to fit to the rather bare wings. It'll probably be finished as an RAFG example in Dark Sea Grey/ Dark Green over Light Aircraft Grey. Edited November 25, 2010 by TimJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've got some done today. The cockpit interior has been painted and previously assembled parts have been stuck together. It looks like a Buccaneer now it's all together. Some of the seams will need filling but it's not looking too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I thought it was about time I got back to this as its been a while since my last update. I've put some filler on the seams, most of which were from when I started it back in 80-something. The crew are painted and ready to go aboard but I'll wait until the airframe has been sanded down before I put them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 The fille has been sanded down and I've given it a coat of primer. There are a few areas which need a bit more attention but it doesn't look too bad. As for the markings there's been a change of plan as I've decided to finish it a a 208 sqn machine carrying four Sea Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
