TheBaron Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 That aircraft has come together in a princely fashion and done with a gifted eye if I may so so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Sorry to jump in again so soon, but could you explain this 'vortex staining'? I've not come across this phenomena before and with an S.2 lined up for the future don't want to miss anything important out of the research. Thanks, Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Tony Hi Tony no worries..vortex staining occurs on the wing....see the little vortex wings on top of the wing? They disturb and channel the airflow..which can cause moisture etc to develop therefore causing subtle streaks behind them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Oh yes that is looking proper sweet. All that extra detailing really gives it depth, and love the little vortex stains....urm that's not meant to sound rude by the way.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwitrogg Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Sorry, I've only just caught up, wish I'd seen it sooner ! Holy smoke, you've really gone to town on this one ! I struggled to maintain my sanity building a standard one; this is something else. And I have to say that the colour scheme is making me wonder about getting another one..... Very nice Cheers Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philo426 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Excellent detail!I made that kit several years ago and it required a lot of bodywork but it came out pretty well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Excellent work which proves that the Airfix kit can be beaten. Couple of questions though.. Would the ejector seats still have the single firing handle at that stage in her life? Underwing serial style looks too square but since Buccaneers should be grey and white ( ) I am open not too sure. Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMCS Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Main assembly completed, some small details before I move to the next stage Excellent work which proves that the Airfix kit can be beaten. Couple of questions though.. Would the ejector seats still have the single firing handle at that stage in her life? Underwing serial style looks too square but since Buccaneers should be grey and white ( ) I am open not too sure. Richard Thanks Rich. The underwing stencils are correct for 1977..I am assured as for the handles..good question...dont know is my answer! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone Phixer Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The CBLS's you've put on the outboard pylons are CBLS 200's. They are for Tornado use. The Bucc used CBLS 100's, which are smaller. See the one fitted on Kiwitrogs RFI post. Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have two of these, (fairly) shortly to be built as an S1 and an S2, both RN. Thanks for proving so comprehensively that despite the horror stories you hear about this kit, it can still be made to look superb. Great job.

TheBaron Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 A pleasure to see this in progress and even more so to view the end result. Magnificent buccaneerification! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi, unfortunately I can't see the pictures of your work...have you abandoned it or is it now finished ? I've got a Bucc on my stash and I would have liked to have some tips... Have you got any pictures left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJP Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Looks like Photobucket has struck again - last time I looked at your post I could see pictures so assume they have only disappeared in last day or so? - your work has plenty of admirers so how about restoring the pictures with different image host?- a lot of work I know but we would love to see them all again.
