scottyphbeta Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just as Airfix announce the new Buccaneer kit, I finish the old kit in 16 Sqn colours, based at RAF Laarbruch. Bit of a dog of a kit, took lots of filling and finally just gave up when it started to look like a Buccaneer. 59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Lovely job there! I love the Buccaneers shape and having heard of the trials of the old Arifix kit, I am awaiting the long promised Tanmodel 1/48 but great to see such a nice job done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Having seen what a great job you have done with the old Airfix Buccaneer, I can't wait to see what you do with one of the new ones (when it comes) - really nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Good work shes definitely looking like a Buccaneer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phone Phixer Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Definitely a Bucc. Well done for beating it into submission, great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 That's a lovely looking Buccaneer and has to be one of the best out there. I agree that the starting point was not the best kit in the world, but what a result. We just need a Phantom and a Lightning to complete a classic Cold War quintet.

72modeler Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Wow- very nice Buc! I would say the effort was well worth the final result. What a handsome beast! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt P Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 excellent result, especially from THAT kit . I well remember the 16Sqn Buccs at Laarbruch flying extremely low passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
