Allatsea Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Slow progress with these two with all the nice weather. But with the rain this weekend, managed to get a bit more done. Camo work done on the s2b, and a bit of detailing in the bomb bay. Trying to get the air brakes buttoned up and joined to the fuselage was a nightmare, and leave a lot to be desired. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back in the Saddle Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 It’s not a well fitting model, is it! I used loads of filler on mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol that's an understatement. I've just used tonnes of sprue glue to fill. No where near the standard of yours but good enough for me Edited June 8, 2020 by Allatsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allatsea Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hit a snag with this build, I ran out of the paint I was using for the navy Bucc just before I moved house, threw away the pot and now 2 months later cant remember what I was using. I want to say it was tamiya XF54, but when looking online the 54 shade looks a lot lighter on the paint charts. Only place it looks correct is Ebay. Anyone able to guide me in the right direction as to what paint it may be? The harrier and navy buc in the thread is the colour I had been using.

Allatsea Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Managed to finish most of the paintwork now on these two. Started decaling S2D and just waiting for new decals for the B 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Looking good. Got to get me a Bucc. But I am not going to pay a fortune for one. And it’s got to be an airforce B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allatsea Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Getting to the finish line with these 2 now. S2D - decaling is all done. Just need to attach the wings and install the ejection seats. Lost the aerials off the top of the fuselage when moving house so will need to replace them somehow. S2B - build from the S2D boxing so new decals were needed, picked up kits world war birds decals from Hannents. Bomb bay was completed to hide the lack of buldged bomb bay. The kit arrived with no clear parts, lucky the other kit had a vac form canopy, but will need to make the windshield for the co pilot and lights. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar side Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Very nice. Like the open bomb bay too. I looked at the Kits World decals the other night as my S2B has the kit Lossiemouth decals & I was after a Honington airframe. But as it seems both of the decals sets are ex Honington anyway, and both squadrons relocated to Lossie from a Honington anyway. I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
