Blackburn Buccaneer S2B 1/72 Revell


Recommended Posts

I rebuilt my 4 years old revell/matchbox kit and this is how it turned out. I scratchbuilt cockpit, folding wings and airbrushed new camouflage. It is not brilliant, i made many mistakes during build, but its significantly better than it was.

Great work on this old and very basic kit.  The paint finish and  wear and tear really brings it to life.  It's funny how, like the Vulcan, the Buccaneer went out with a blaze of glory at the very end of its operational life having never fired a shot in anger through its previous career (well, not in British service anyway).  I actually think Matchbox did a nice job on the intake lips which are horrible on the old Airfix one and I grafted a set on to the Airfix kit.  Happily, as of today, that is no longer a problem.  Huzzah! I can see me getting quite a fleet of the new tool.
