Brit-in-RI Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi everyone, Found this site while looking for tips on modeling. I did a few kits as a youngster, i remember a Spitfire (which I believe was 1:24) and a Saturn V at 1:144. I have been working on a Buccaneer 1:48 for about 20 years (still a long way to go). My interest was recently rekindled by a relative who started visiting from UK. I have a Vulcan underway which I am using to learn and practice on before returning to the Bucc. I want the Bucc to be display-worthy, but am a perfectionist so not sure if this will happen. The interest in Buccs stems from 4 years working on them in the 80's. Have lots of questions and a willingness to learn how to do this things properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Two icons there..Buccaneer and Vulcan. 20 years though! Puts my 10 years on the An-22A into perspective. Look forward to see it finished. Hopefully the correct colours (FAA) but I'll let you away with an RAF one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the correct colours (FAA) but I'll let you away with an RAF one I think I would like to complete my Bucc and then the other two V bombers, then... I was reading a history of RAF Lossiemouth and began to think 'What if I build one of every aircraft that was based there'. Now that sounds like an ambitious project if every I heard of one. Fleet Air Arm Buccaneer S1, Hunter T7, Shackleton, Tornado, Jaguar GR1 and T4... Hmmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 aboard... Saturn V was a kit I remember from my childhood too, but I think mine was the Airfix one. Those were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Airfix Saturn V is still going strong. I built it not so long ago and have a Skylab version to do. We need more real space modellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
