Biggles87 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Pulling up a seat ( a little late ) for this one. I started one many years ago and it beat me, but I still have one hidden away in a box somewhere. Good luck John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Moff Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 great stuff - have one in the stash as well. Gotta love a Banana hence my 1/72 choice (im thinking Gulf War for my 1/48). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Great vids earlier. I am about 1/3 through the 1/72 Buccaneer. It sits forlornly on the Shelf of Doom...mainly because I can't decide how to paint the bottom white (Spraycan, brush, etc). Looking forward to seeing this one done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for the kind words and support gang; it does spur me on to keep at this one.

I'd say go spray cans to get a nice even coat of white and let's see another Bucc getting finished After a few days away on holiday I got back at this one for a wee while last night. Behold the kit instrument panel adorned with some Eduard etch 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Cracking project Col. As a small child I saw one of these get launched from Ark Royal.....God it was loud, I can still hear it now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a small child I saw one of these get launched from Ark Royal.....God it was loud, I can still hear it now! Thank you Sgt. To see one getting cat launched must have been a fantastic experience! Although I think what you can hear might be called tinnitus Best I can offer in relation to that was watching them dropping practice bombs on a target buoy up beside the Tain range. Dad got word from a former colleague and took me up to sit on the shore and watch. For a while F-111s took a crack at it and we watched the splashes burst all around at varying proximities to the target including some really close ones. Then a green and grey over LAG RAF Bucc enters stage right rather low and whacks one of his two bombs clean off the buoy with a clang that was clearly audable over the jet noise. Dad laughed and said, "On well, that's b#&&£~ed it, let's go get some ice-cream". That was a good day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Now that I would love to have seen! I sat with some Vark crews on my one and only flight to the US, they were some cocky blighters.....I think they had just 'accidentally' bombed a Chinese or possibly French Embassy at the time (again).
