Buccaneer S2


Recommended Posts

Completed this some weeks ago. The cracking Airfix kit... can't really praise it enough. Painted with Tamiya and Gunze Aqueous but didn't have the heart to add any weathering! Finished off with Xtradecals for a 801NAS machine.ย 

Thanks for looking! ๐Ÿ™‚

That is one lovely looking Bucc and in the best scheme.ย  I am building one right now and have an awful fit around the exhaust parts and rear fuselage join - yours looks perfect...!

Mine dry fitted perfectly, then didn't in the same places as you when building. I have a theory that the fit is so fine that if you use excessive amounts of glue and clamp pressure on the internal engine box structure, you squash it enough to throw the the fuselage top and bottom out of kilter which then affects the intakes and tail. So if I ever build another one I'll be use less POWER and see if it just falls together.

BTW not saying mine had a bad fit, just needed a bit of sanding and some putty at the forward wing root.

That looks great, what a fantastic colour scheme. I did a Bucc during lockdown with the "old" Airfix kit and it was a mutt, I might have to revisit the type...
