WV908 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Oh b****r I don't need two. I don't need two. I don't need two. Erm, give me some time to save up haha. Have you made up any extra ordnance for the Bucc? Cheers, WV908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icelandic Fine Art Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 WV908, What extra ordnance are you referring to? Presumably, some of the ordnance on the Phantom would be interchangeable with the Buccaneer? I have made some mods to the airframe and was working on a new cockpit but the global crisis shutdown the supply line and since I rely on special materials from abroad, there is still a long delay before things get back to normal.

Alan Hi Alan, Sorry I missed this, but I was thinking of things to complete a Gulf War fit. All my spare missiles from Phantoms are going onto two Tornado F3 builds sadly.

I don't know what weapons fit was used on Tornadoes, I know they carried cluster dusters as we called them, on Granby, one of our convoys was bombed by a Tornado, as we tried to RV with it. I do recall seeing laser guided bombs loaded on them and they would fly with the odd Buccaneer, they would fly quite low over our section as we crossed the wadis, we were quite use to seeing this on a daily basis. I will admit, I never liked seeing any of our equipment, especially aircraft, painted in desert cam. One of the problems with the desert colour system was that some of the paints had different infra-red wavelengths and that caused a lot of problems, especially with US forces who couldn't always tell the difference and would bomb a lot of our positions, when using their infra-red systems and thermal imaging. Operational policy stated that units were to request clearance before executing any strikes on unidentified positions but there was often a breakdown in communication. Give me a list of ordnance carried and I will look into it Alan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV908 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thanks Alan, I'll have a good look into what was carried (and cross reference it with what you supplied in the kit) I didn't know you served during GW1 and I've not heard an account like yours before (I tend to focus on the Scud Hunter side of it) . It certainly puts it into perspective how scary it was. Cheers, WV908 (I'm still having no luck replying to your emails sadly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Gulf War fit was generally Sidewinders, a PaveSpike pod, and up to 2 PW LGBs... and a ALQ-101 Tank in the bomb bay. https://www.dstorm.eu/pages/loadout/bucc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icelandic Fine Art Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 The re-release of the FAA Buccaneer with parts also for an RAF version is due for October. This is the newly modified version based on the original design; a new type of polymer (resin) is used in place of the aluminium/resin composite, that is both lighter and stronger and is cast in all white. Both the airframe and wings have been modified, with a host of CAD 3d printed parts, new landing gear and bays, the modeller will have to source their own steel rods to reinforce the landing gear; CAD 3d printed designed cockpit and 2 part canopy. Selection of ordnance. This is a garage kit and as such is only suited to proficient modellers. Alan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 The original is an awesome piece of work, no doubt the upgrade will be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 One sends an email to Alan. I think it depends on the transplant situation in Iceland. 🤣 [email protected] @Chaotic Mike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
