reini Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 ... not the new one, sorry This is the 1989 version of Airfix Buccaneer in 1/72 painted in the Gulf War scheme. Spiced up with few extra parts - such as resin nose & tail, etch details in the cockpit & air brake. Making the airbrakes open up was bit fiddly as they clearly weren't meant to be displayed open. But I think I got it figured out eventually. Painted with Vallejo paints using brushes. Dirtying up using Tamiya panel liners & pigments. Model was bit on the more challenging side to build, it felt like older kit than -89. Most of the plastic was pretty soft & clunky but I'm pretty happy with the results. Hope you like it - feel free to comment & post constructive criticism. 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I love the Buccaneer, and you've produced an excellent model from a less than excellent kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Quack Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Lovely, especially in a granby scheme. Still waiting for the promised 1/48 Tanmodel one. Patient Quack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I thought it might be the new Buccaneer. Which has literally only just become available according to the email I got from Airfix today. Never mind. Great job on a poor kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfinished project Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Beautiful representation of the much missed type over the skies of East of Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Very impressive. I built this a couple of years ago and was very pleased with it. Until I’ve seen yours. Now mine looks decidedly second rate in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
