tonyot Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Hiya Folks, I don`t think I`ve posted this `oldie' before,.... built from the old Airfix Bucc kit,... first of,..... here are some pics of the real thing; And here is the model,..... on the real aircraft the Light Stone and Dark Earth scheme was applied over the normal DE/DG/LAG scheme, leaving the rear fuselage in the original colours due to jet efflux and the nose radar radome clear too,...... so I tried to replicate this,..... the scheme was brush painted; Cheers, Tony 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stever219 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 It’s good to see a Buccaneer in those colours. Apparently the “desert” camouflage was applied using an alkaline removable temporary finish that was supposed to wash off easily; unfortunately the heat in Nevada baked the paint rock-hard and it took quite some time to get off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks again fella`s,...... the Bucc does look cool in those colours. Imagine a Vulcan finished like this!!....... In fact,...... wasn`t Vulcan B2 XM607 finished with desert coloured undersides at the same Red Flag in 1977? Imagine if they had gone the whole hog and done the top too, what do you think Neil https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/profile/4520-woody37/ !; Cheers again folks!

cngaero Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 That's absolutely stunning Tony. The Buccaneer really does look good in that particular scheme. Your artistry with a brush is superb as ever. If you don't mind me asking, which is your preferred brand of paint brush? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris,..... there are a few brushes that I tend to go for where possible,... Sable if I can get them,.......Pro Arte are good,...or Sceptre Gold. They are quite expensive but if you look after them they last quite well. Wide Flat brushes are good for covering a large area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Very nice Tony. I did a Matchbox Bucc the same way a long time ago. As for the Vulcan with the same colours in the underside, I saw it fly over Mildenhalll some years ago now during one of my visits that way Thought it very odd. It reminds me of an amusing story I once read in an Air Force magazine, An American officer visiting a Vulcan unit commented on the upper surface camo and asked the crew how do they hide when it snows... the answer was..." We fly upside down!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
