Someone finally listened!

Afternoon one and all. Just been perusing the latest copy of SAMI. They have some news some may be interested in. A new release scheduled from Tan Models from Turkey being a 1/48 BUCCANEER!!!!!!!!

May I be the first to give cautios YAY! Never heard of Tan Models but looking on their site their previous efforts look mighty fine. Will be keeping an eye on this as it develops

[Dave Fleming 2,015]

Is this in addition to the 1/72 or another SAMI mix up?

A mix up? Oh hell no. Have I got my hopes up for nothing? Is my only hope the Airfix version that I'm forever putting off?

Time will tell I suppose. Tan Models post on here so perhaps they can confirm or deny

!/72................... No........................Time to kick the cat I feel very despondent.

[bootneck 3,070]

I wonder what "1/48 CODE NAME:2304 SPECIAL PROJECT #2304" will be??

[Wee Beastie 3,434]

Curious, is 1/48 CODE NAME:2304 SPECIAL PROJECT #2304 a "Secret Squirrel" code for the 1/48 Buccaneer?

My Airfix Buccaneer was next up to built.......now do I, or don't I?

Yes please build it. Then you can be sure a new kit will be released quite soon.

This happened a couple of times to me too: Heller Fiat G.91 (AMK this year) and Monogram's Kingfisher (Kittyhawk soon, I hope).

Looked at their webpage: a very ambituous company. Something really exiting. Theur Thunderflash looks excellent.

1/72 CN-235...at last one not in resin

[Julien 6,433]

Theur Thunderflash looks excellent.

It is!

[Radleigh 3,098]

1/72 CN-235...at last one not in resin

..and CN-295, must admit, if that gets released I'll be a happy chap.

[The Good Sergeant 16]

Agreed, we need a decent 1/72nd Bucc more than we need a 1/48th one!

[F4u 1,010]

I suppose I'm asking to much for a 1/32 scale then ??

On this we must agree to disagree.

BRIEF STATEMENT ABOUT BLACKBURN BUCCANEER PROJECT.

Dear forum members and our friends;

First of all, thank you all for your interest in TANMODEL brand and our projects.

Yes, we are planning to release Blackburn Buccaneer S.2 kit and we made some progress in 3D design. However we will release this project in 1/72 scale. (Of course, our reference is 1/48 scale RF-84F kit)

A modeler and author friend of ours, also a member of this forum, stated that he will support us. If he wishes, he can announce his name. We detail the design in summer and we wish to present a perfect Buccaneer to you in autumn.

We would write messages to you for decal selection, however we wanted to make a small briefing under this topic.

Regards,

TANMODEL

^^^ great news!

Personally I would be happy with an overall Extra Dark Sea Grey FAA example or a Dark Green/Dark Sea Grey RAF one. Personally I'm not fond of the 'desert pink' Gulf War scheme but would imagine that it would be popular.

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing The Brick tooled up
