1/72nd Valom Bristol Buckmaster T.1, 45 Sqn, Tengah, Op Firedog, 1950.


Recommended Posts

That is some build Tony, the Buckmaster has turned out wonderfully well, excellent stuff. 

..... and what can I say about that No. 45 'Flying Camels' collection.... Wow!!! absolutely break-taking and a collection that you should be immensely proud of. 

Cheers and huge congratulations.. Dave

A totally excellent build!

The metallic finish and subtle griminess really look the part.

👍👍

I know nothing about the type but it "looks" very balanced and airworthy, by my superficial assessment. 🤔

Thanks mate,.... glad you like it, especially as it is an aircraft you`ve not heard of before.

Cheers Dave,.... glad you like it mate,...... I`m currently searching out a Vampire T.11 and a Blenheim Mk.I to expand the collection too.  I also forgot to add my 45 Sqn Vengeance,... maybe next time eh?

"You see, Joey.... when an Avro Shackleton and a Bristol Brigand love each other very, very much..."

 

Kidding aside, its a beautiful model. Actually rather smart in that paint scheme. I have the Valom Brigand myself and i wanna build it.... but my Wyvern is next in the queue.

LOL,.... thanks David,.... I have a Magna kit too and I`m sorely tempted to build it in the original camouflage with yellow undersides.

It’s not often I see a RAF aircraft that’s new to me. This is a pleasant way to do that. Nice modelling, Tony 

Thanks Bertie and glad to have contributed to your education!

Some absolutely lovely work here Tony! Love the Buckmaster and the Brigand. Would love to see those in 1/48

Thanks mate and oh yeah,..... imagine how huge they would be in 1/48th!!

Just when I think one of your builds can't get any better, you spring a Buckmaster on me!  As stated above, a beautiful build of a not-so beautiful airplane. Exhaust streaking is especially impressive. Never realized how small an airframe the Hornet was until you see it next to a Beaufighter or Brigand, which is one BIG twin! A- I wish I had your skills, and B- I wish I had your productivity! Keep 'em coming, Tony!

I agree-aftermarket cowlings and cooling fans would be ever so nice! Maybe the talented gang at Red Roo would consider doing a set along with props? (At the rate you are cranking them out, they could recoup their tooling costs with  your purchases alone!) :giggle:

Thankfully a lifelong process. Something new every day!

 

We are all learning and those that profess to be experts should be given a very wide berth!

LOL,.... thanks Mike,..... yeah I like to compare the size of aircraft where they are so different. 

Skill,... Productivity,...... no mate I just bumble along!

This is indeed a nice tribute to a little known aircraft type from a post WW2 conflict that tends to be forgotten. I really like your new project Tony!

Thanks mate,.... glad you like it,..... cheers.
