An 892 NAS reissue is the one I'm fishing for, but for sixty quid (yes, I know, dream on). I may have to make do with a 1/72 Airfix offering next year as the 1/32 Hong Kong Models version is unlikely to happen in my lifetime. But great news on the Buccaneer front.

71chally Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I've never paid more than £25 for a Hasegawa Brit Phantom, they are about!

Good on Tanmodel for sorting out The Correct Scale production first of all. Undoubtedly the 1:72nd scale will benefit from any lessons learned from this production. There are a few new images of the CAD work on Tanmodel's farcebook page. The rotating bomb bay looks rather tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsyouruncle Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Nice to see Tanmodel, very nice to see. Please keep it coming. Want at least one. Great looking fuselage shape and probe, etc. I realise that you're in the design phase and that it might be an optical illusion here, but in case it's not and no one else mentions it, I just wanted to remind you (I'm sure you probably know already) that the bulged fairings on the fuselage sides inboard of the engine intakes start forward of the intakes themselves (roughly in line vertically with the bottom of the centre partition in the canopy). They appear slightly set back here (like I said could be an illusion). Also, if you do want it to be a really super rendition, please, please do the offset seats and offset MDC in the canopy? Thanks, Bob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Bob. Note that not all Buccaneer S2's had the bulged fairings you mention , study of photos of early S2s show that some are as the Tan Models illustration. Examples lacking the bulged fairings are XN974,XT286, XV153 and XW986 in " Rasberry Ripple scheme " amongst others. Andrew 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I love about researching a model project is that you find out so much about the real thing. I've just been looking at Andy Whites excellent Buccaneer website (see link below) http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/0_Contents.html From this I think we're talking about 'Mod 1059' which Andy says was apparently introduced to reduce noise in the cockpit. Was it just early photos of these aircraft you were talking about? I've just looked at photos of the aircraft you've listed and can see the fairings on three of them in later photos (XN974, XT286 and XW986) but have seen one earlier shot of XV153 without them. Cheers Bob. Just a quick edit:- Reading on further on Andy's website (see link to page here) http://www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/Pages3_files/Detailing_Index.html? It's here referred to as Mod 1044. It says S2s 1965 to 1968 didn't have the fairings and S2s from late 1968 onwards did have them. What a treasure trove of information that site is.

helios16v Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Looking forward to this. Need to find some 208 Sqn decals so I can do a build to go w/ my squadron sticker I've acquired. I may have to wait for the 1/72 release, as thus far that has been the only scale I've seen the decals in. Regardless, it'll be nice to have a proper kit of this unique bird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I daresay a certain model shop in East Anglia will provide you with something there, after all they picked up all of the old Modeldecal sheets and there's lots of very useful information there on RAF and FAA colour schemes. Anyway, Tanmodel provided a brilliant decal sheet with their RF-84F so there's no reason to expect they won't do likewise with their Bucc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covjets13 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 1/32 would be great, and I would happily pay good money for one. Come on Tanmodels bring one to market,,,,,please😎 Si 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsyouruncle Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Tanmodel, if you're listening, please also don't do the Airfix thing of seemingly 'straightening out' the canopy bottom edges/cockpit sides. Please keep the curves in. Thanks Bob. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
