    nice finish on that one🏆 and yes buccaneers where routinely seen sporting all manner of ordinance when the wings were folded

    so i was intending to do this as a simple build, straight from the box,but then i seen the front console from yahu and the seatbelts from radu and before you know it im buying tiny balls to fill in every rivet

    alan i have some 1500ltr tanks bagged up and ready for posting, How about we trade? your unused 111sqn decals for the tanks? 🤔 Good luck with this set , i bought what i thought was the heritage set from evilbay, turns out it was a copy (and not a very good one) so its sitting on the back shelf at the moment🤨

    yep .on its way,will be posed as a "bolter" tail down ,arrestor hook out banking to the left to get away from the carrier.will post some piccys when its finally finished!

    its been so long since i last done this hope this works. the amazing airfix kit with a few bits modified ,really enjoyed this build and i will be buying the s.2b when it comes out! comments and critique welcome

    good job all round and like others have said ,a panel wash and a little varnish will really make it pop. hope you dont mind me pointing out ,but i think your trobles with the fit of the intakes is because you may have fitted them on upside down/wrong side? i always check with reference photos when building airfix,some of their instructions are a bit vague to say the least!

    if you look at pictures of the real thing ,then certainly the painting of the full scale nose cone looks a bit wonky!! this might just be a help rather than a hinderance?

  9. buccymad

    😮 it's been so long since I posted something that I forgot what to do, didn't even notice the capital letters 🤭

    have you tried thin wire? use the decals as a guide ,trace the shape onto paper,push pins into the corner points,then simply bend your wire round the outline ,paint it and secure it in place with a little klear might take a few goes but it does work!

    dont forget to offset the seats,they where angled away from each other by two degrees from vertical (if i rememeber right?)and slightly off centerline.pilots seat to the left,navs to the right,giving the nav a clear view off what the pilot was doing to scare him.also to improve leg room for the nav ,his seat frame was splayed out from his knees ,thats why they are marked front and rear seat
  14. buccymad
    thats my knee! i can still remeber sitting in there ,thinking how cramped it was,cant imagine how it would have been in full flying kit
  15. buccymad
    cracking job mate,may i make an observation. the canopy at the trailing edge should hinge on the airframe ,yours appears to be floating at the moment. other than that its a spiffing tiffie

    Q1: With the bomb bay exposed, can I still build an S.2D and if so what can I hang in there as I have a number of bombs? four british 1000lb bombs wouldnt look amis in the bomb bay,would need confirmation if the navy used the internal bomb bay? Q2: I have been informed that the bomb bay should have some kind of 'fairing' to aid airflow when open? dont recall the buccaneer ever having a fairing open around the bomb bay look here for loading options and just about anything else buccaneer related http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/

  18. buccymad
    right, just tried post img . org (without all the spaces) and it was easy to post a picture from my pictures folder,just upload your desired picture to postimg .org scrool down till you find Hotlink for forums: click the little copy icon(it will tell you its copied)and paste it here,hope this helps!

    testing......
  20. buccymad
    dont know anything about ye olde wingythingies .but that to my untrained eye looks perfect!! i especially like the worn fabric around the cockpit ,and your missus cutting around in the background,ninja stylie
  21. buccymad
    nice touch with the starting handle,superb weathering as well .top notch stuff
  22. buccymad
    exellent model. just a question,why didnt you open up the cockpit to show off the detail? the painting of the consoles is nice and neat,screaming to be shown off!
  23. buccymad
    you must have a great sence of achievment with this kit .all the rotten reviews,how hard it is to turn into a decent model,and here's you ,not only finishing it but "knocking it out of the park" so to speak .that cropped overhead shot is almost indistinguisable from the real thing !! tis what we all aspire to good sir
  24. buccymad
    like most people here ,i would not pay the price for the tamiya offering ,the revell kit looks almost as good and for a third of the price. having seen your build, i might be tempted to buy this kit p.s you cant have too many pictures of an awesome build
  25. buccymad
    you learn somthing new every day! never even seen a picture of an a/c without them. the build itself is pretty awesome too,lots of little things that the average guy would miss,like the gap down the fuselage to guide the canopy ,and the vents on top of the intakes. the matchbox kit looks to be a much better starting point than the airfix kit,either way ,you've knocked it out the park!
