He's about as far from the Hollywood expectation of a fast jet pilot as it's possible to be. But he's seen it. Done it. Can't be bothered to wear the teeshirt. Reminds me of that ancient BBC series Fighter Pilot. If I remember correctly the only bloke that made it through was the milkman, and he ended up on Buccaneers! And he certainly wasn't Tom Cruise.

Luigi The RAF version which will probably be a variation on this kit next year which will have the RAF bulged bomb bay door and the universal longer weapons pylons, it should also have the later revised Tailplane and revised wing tanks (Basically a different Sprue to the one with these bits on the RN kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAGATIGER Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Hi there Well let's start with a simple apology as I don't read the Rumonger thread too often but I can say I like the Buccaneer as much to got 6 Matchbox, 3 Frogs, and 3 old Airfix kits still on what i called a Buccaneer midlife crisis and now I certainly plan to get at least one more RAN and RAF In the past I had to bought a ton of aftermarket stuff, asked for lots of fuel tanks (ole Matchbox kits lack of almost everything but the shape and good intakes) and now we had the chance to do more Buccaneers. I think we are lucky Happy modelling Armando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Ive been researching the Buccaneer lately for my Frog build. I think i will be getting at least 2 maybe 3 of these. Im really liking the Buccaneer more and more with the research i have done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry I always thought it mildly amusing that in a series called Fighter Pilot the only one who made it ended up flying bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
