72 scale Buccaneer

Recommended Posts

Hi has any one attempted to build an Airfix 72 scale Buccaneer with the wings folded, 

Looking at the kit the wing joint looks where the fold is too me

Any ideas or suggestions welcome

I have done this using the Airwaves etch stuff. The wing fold as far as I am concerned is where the kit has it, at the ends of the upper and lower fuselage parts if you understand what I mean.

I agree.

If you have a look through here in the 'work in progress' section there are a few Buccaneer builds including details of the wing fold. See also the Walkaround section.

Bear in mind that on later Buccaneers the doors covering the hinges on the top were removed.

Usual advice is to study as many photographs of the airframe you intend to build.
