Nocoolname Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Lovely Bucc pics! Always liked the Bucc but have yet to pluck up the bravery to tackle my stashed Airfix kits. One day soon I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Bob Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 My Bucc kits arrived today, kept it down to just the two. Agree with everyone that has posted how it looks good, just have to finish off things that are on the go before I start yet another kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 These illustrations take me back. It was how we learned about the Aircraft we serviced back in the day. They were extremely thorough and only wrong on the odd point of detail once in a blue moon. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Thanks for those John, certainly brings back some memories. Strange looking Martel missile, not quite an anti-radar head, but the launcher has the temperature control pack (TCP) fitted and the missile has the receptacle for the connecting tube, these were only used on the TV variant which was not at all pointy at the front. The AR and TV Martel missiles were almost completely different internally, the only common components were the boost motor and the battery. The boost motor fired to launch the Martel missile and accelerate it away from the aircraft while the Sea Eagle, having liquid jet fuel and a micro turbo-jet motor would be explosively released, the intake cover blown off and the motor would then fire up to sea sklm the missile to its target. The Martel missiles in the old FROG kit are pretty inaccurate, lacking detail and with an extra connecting conduit on the underside (should only be one on each side) and none of the five rocket venturi on the rear surface, hopefully Airfix will make some accurate ones for their RAF version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Modeller Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 On a related topic, does anybody know whether those yellow stripes on the wing top surface just forward of the ailerons and flaps (RNÂ aircraft only) are actually painted yellow, or are they yellow primer, or that greenish yellow fibreglass type colour? I worked at Brough during the late 60s / early 70s and made quite a few Buccaneer notes but this one has escaped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From John's earlier posted notes elsewhere, the painting notes seem to indicate they should be left unpainted. Having now revisited the many images in books and on my hard drive, I'm at the point where I think they might be left unfinished as per the external finishing instructions. Â Mark. Â PS, Chris please have a look here. I've a sneaking suspicion you'll soon have an answer to your query!

Harry Lime Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 John @canberra kid, in light of CTModellers question elsewhere, any chance you can see if finishing notes 14-30 are lurking around somewhere please? I think they'll hold the answer to his question. Thanks in advance, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark I'll scan the pages and sort the post out properly, in the meantime, in answer to the question details  O1, P1, Q1 and R1 indicate the area should not be painted.  John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberra kid Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 @CT Modeller and @Harry Lime Chris and Mark As Mark has said the the area indicated by the Airfix instructions as yellow would appear to be unpainted, perhaps the Navy ones had the 'gold' anodised coating on them as a anti corrosion mesure?  John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
