HS Buccaneer S2B - Airfix 1/48


Recommended Posts

Hello Hàkan,

You're working faster than I do !

Great work here !

I use the Pavla interior set and as You've seen I make a S1

Great work on the burner cans ! And good idea !

I was looking for 2 more Airfix Buccs but seemingly there will be soon another rabbit in the field...

So I take my time and don't rush, Tanmodel will maybe be better !

Gluing parts on transparencies, I use tiny drops of Kristal Klear or a similar stuff.

congrats ! Dear Mate !

sincerely.

Thank you CC! :)

 

Trying to get some build time every day, if I can.

 

One thing I forgot to ask about your build, does the fairing behind the exhaust need to be changed somehow?

 

Yeah, I've heard about the Tanmodel Bucc too (who interested in Bucc hasn't? :) ). Love to see how it turns out.

 

Thanks for the tip! I'll need to order some. Could be useful to have.

Building has been a bit slow due to the heat (25+C) 

 

Now the attachment points for the air brake "arms" are gone. Mainly thanks to some very nice pics the general provided! :)

Will drill some holes there, and maybe add some plumbing.

 

I've cut some bits and pieces to the blast shield. Partly using the etch part as template.

It was a bit hard to get them nicely in place due to the sharp corners, so I decided to take another approach.

Inspired by the video about making seat belts with white putty, I made something simular.

A bit uneven, but I think I can adjust that. I should have waited a bit longer before I started to cut out the shape and lift it up from the mat.

 

I also made those "small balls" that sit on the inside.

Actually a bit on the large side, so I need to redo them.

Thank you Chris! Glad you like it! :)

 

Need to motor on, so I don't get tired of all the detailing and start with something else! :)
