Graham T Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 All done. Used a Neomega cockpit, SAC undercarriage (probably not worth it), some elements of the Flightpath set (there is a LOT there) & Three Guys decals for an 800 NAS machine from HMS Eagle. May have got the antenna set-up wrong for the period but what the heck. The basic kit might be considered a nightmare but well worth persevering with it, especially if using the various enhancements available; I genuinely enjoyed the build despite all the work to get the fuselage together! 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djos Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Very nice work, clean and sharp build. Best regards Djordje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon382 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Very nice result if not the right service ( ducks as all the ex RN on here throws insults!) It's even better as I have first hand experience with this kit. I'm struggling my way through at the moment. Have finally sanded and filled to an acceptable standard, time for paint finally. So hats off to you and your moddelling skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Beautiful Buccaneer! As Simon says, wrong service though! Seriously, she's stunning. My build isn't too far behind yours so I can appreciate how much work you've done on this one, no join lines anywhere! I think I've done my tailplane upside down, your little hinges are on the underside aren't they. I wouldn't mind as much but initially I had it the same as yours, then looked at too many distant photos of slightly blurred Buccaneers and decided it was the other way up! Oh well. Anyway, good work, she looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your build will be great inspiration. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 That's a terrific looking bucc.too bad I dunt have the balls to convert one of my completed buccs into it.Too priceless to make mistakes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85sqn Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Looking good. I have one to do as an FAA example and am slowly collecting the aftermarket bits and pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Pete Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Very nice. I don't know about you but I find a tricky build to be more satisfying. If I can get things to fit when they're a bit off out of the mould, I get a big sense of achievement. (Let's face it, if I can get any pair of fuze halves to go together without a massive step, I'm delighted!) On the other hand, it's always nice when one simply falls together! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Well worth the hard work, you have done a fine job on a cranky old kit. I have never bought a SAC set but have heard mixed reports on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hello Graham, Build it before you. So I know all about the Airfix model. You did a tremendous job. A clean and lean fighting machine. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 As mentioned above, great build of a challenging kit. I did an RAF Germany one from the Fighter Pilot series. Right service in proper colours, after all we say nowadays grey jets are boring. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
