Popular Post RMCS Posted August 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2016 Thanks to everyone who has followed my WIP for this model. Well its finished at last. For those viewing this for the 1st time: This is the Airfix 1:48 kit, a challenge as many of you know. I have built this model to represent a specific aircraft flown during Red Flag 1977. The Buccaneer force astounded all our allies during this exercise. Not one was intercepted by any aircraft throught the time they were out there. The ultra low level flying astonished our allies and all the spectators. Thiswas an amazing show of flying skill in which this aircraft, the 'flying brick' was the only aircraft in the world capable of doing so. I used the excellent Neomega resin cockpit, Flightpath photo etch and I scratch build the RR Spey engine, bomb bay and wheel wells. I finished the model in Vallejo air paints and washes. 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antti_K Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Hello RMCS, what a beautiful Buccaneer! Great work with the details and finishing. I built one of these some 20 years ago and the model certainly has some serious issues. Mine is also in the colours of 208 Squadron but in Green/Grey wrap around scheme. I was fascinated to see one these close up when one visited Kauhava AB here in Finland to attend in our Midsummer party and air show in 1990s (can't recall the year or the aircraft's registration). The crew told us that this was to be buccaneer's last appearance outside the UK. The pilot and the navigator were Gulf War veterans. Then Finnish Air Force didn't have a proper equipment to start up the engines but luckily Finnair did. BR, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 That's incredible. You've done a fantastic job with the old Airfix kit. It's a bit of a beast isn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
