nimrod54 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 That's looking great Michelle. Not far off being finished now I would think, what's next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Nice looking Buc! Great work. Can't wait for the new Tanmodel kit to appear, although dread to think how much it will cost. A new-tool Airfix version is well overdue and would complement nicely their new RN Phantom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, can't decide what to tackle next. I'm currently also working on Nakajima Kate, and am thinking as that is quite detailed doing a Revell Hurricane or Airfix Tornado. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod54 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Any of those would be a good choice and the Spit makes up into a nice model. I made one a few years ago, OOB apart from some etch belts, and remember it being a fairly straightforward build. I look forward to watching your build. Apologies for the thread drift, let's get this splendid Buccaneer finished first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hi Michelle, I really like what you've achieved with the Buc. Your progress from kit to kit is quite spectacular. Well done! The new tool Spit looks like a good choice, although I have not seen it in "the flesh" yet. Keep at it and have a lot of fun! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelliecool Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 After 2 coats of Windsor and Newton matt varnish, the Buc is finally finished and ready for inspection. Apart from a few minor lessons learnt, it has been a thoroughly enjoyable build. The kit went together with ease, and I hope pays a good tribute to the pilots who flew the mighty Buccaneer in the Gulf. I fell for this aircraft when I saw one in the raf museum in London, and I'm really chuffed with my dirty little desert storm Buc. Definitely one of my favourite builds so far. Thanks for all your advice and encouragement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
