All info I have is that the offset was 2 inches.See also here: www.blackburn-buccaneer.co.uk/Pages3_files/Model_Directory-cmr.../0_cmr.html 9 Aug 2006 - The modeller can accurately 'offset' the two Ejector Seats 2-inches either side of the cockpit centreline if wished (front seat 0.7mm to port; rear seat 0.7mm to starboard). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Cracking work Massimo, that Bucc cockpit detail is superb. The windscreen and canopy didn't have any offset, being central. I have to agree with Perdu, the seats were offset 2 inches each, have never heard of them being angled. That's not to say that they weren't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I went through the pictures I found on the net and I have to say the pilot seat seems ( and I underline Seems!!!) well above two inches offset, as the picture beow shows. COPIRIGHT AIRTEAMIMAGES.COM https://www.airteamimages.com/hawker-siddeley-buccaneer_XW544_united-kingdom---royal-air-force_148422.html Even the pedals and the front panel and cover (what's the name of the part under the windscreen?)look much more offset...anyway 0,7 is the official translation of 2inches (2x25,4:72) in this scale. Noted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Hallo again, tonight I started by building the front starboard consolle. Then I added some blocks to be used as locating pins for the floor. This will help keeping the two fuselge halves aligned and make things stronger once everything is glued together! This is what it looks like once together. That's it for tonight. Ciao Massimo Edited February 4, 2018 by massimo2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massimo Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Good evening, before going to bed , a small update. Tonight I finally concentrated on the navigator's starboard consolle. The problem is that among the few picture I found, none of them are showing the same instruments' layout!!! considering that all those pictures are hiding the same area......I decided to find a compromise and this is what I came up with: Next step...pedals, seats and instruments' panels. But now I'm ready for bed!!! Gunnai! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I lost hair searching for the nav's consoles Massimo, it isnt just you I can see enough of the real thing I eventually found in yours to say I would be satisfied with yours (on mine) very nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I'm not sure if you saw this one that Phone Phixer found for my build, it helped me a lot I needed to ignore item 10 for my S1, you do not need to for the S2 bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be veeeeery helpful!!! Thanks Bill and thanks phone phixer!!! Good morning, these days I like the thrill of not being in time for the taxi to work, thus this morning I decised to have a go with the pedals. First I drilled four holes in two different pieces of styrene and from them I filed until Igot two slots. then i glued them to other two piecesand let them set while having breakfast. After breakfast I trimmed and shaped them, then I added two bits of rod I had previously filed on one side. On a piece of tape I glued some bits of rod, to create the pedals holding system (Nobody will ever see it!!!) Then I cut a piece of thick styrene, which will represent the frame to which the pedalling system is fitted, and I glued it to the floor, followed by pedals and arm (Nobody will ever see it!!!) This is the wiew from the top. The all thind is slightly offset to port, to match with the pilot’s seat. Then I got down to the hotel reception…and the taxi was already there!!!

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 That’s looking superb, Massimo. You have clearly mastered this port & starboard business; we’ll make a matelot of you yet! But this is a Naval build, so less of this “Nav” nonsense. Naval aircraft have Observers; the Navigator is some Fish-Head bloke on the bridge of the ship. Fab modelling! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 It’s boring, but no worse. I am actually sitting in the hospital waiting room as I write, waiting for them to do whatever they do to assess how it is going. I expect at least another 2 weeks with only one hand. Italian matelots are by no means unheard of: Amerigo Vespucci & Cristofero Columbo didn’t do too badly between them... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but mine was a lame attempt at some humor, since Massimo is from a part of Italy which is not really known for matelots or anything related to sea and/or Navy Ciao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
