Arkady72 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 One of my colleagues said that the Buccaneer looks like a pregnant whale. I hope that the joke is not offended anyone . Airfix kit is good but... Gluing two halves hull was a nightmare. Both were terribly distorted. I used Pavla cockpit set - this was a mistake, there does not fit well. I am sure NeOmega resin cockpit is much better. I used also Airwaves wingfold PE set and Paragon resin wheels. The wheels in my opinion are too much flattened, but is typical for Paragon wheels... I am disappointed with the kit decals, shows that in many places to shine. I have used this company decals on models of Super Etendard, Hawk and everything was in order. Anyway I invite you to evaluate my work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 A very nice Bucc. One samll point, and it is a very small point, you have missed the RBF tag of the bomb seaker, without this it would droop down as it is attached to a collar which keeps it upright.

Plastic Bonsai Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Stunning weathering - they had a tough life at times. Pregnant whale? More like an eel on steroids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady72 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Only observation is you have the fin 'aerials facing fwd?' Ooops... Corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Ooops... Corrected. Really good model, but on a general 'Point of Order' - Missing Landing Gear Safety Locks and flags. In the RAF, as soon as an aircraft had taxied onto its spot after landing, the Landing Gear Safety Locks are one of the first things to be fitted - and the flags must be visible for the whole time the aircraft is on the ground. They are the last thing the pilot checks are removed as he does his pre-flight walkround checks - he might even remove them himself - it has been known!

Stanley Ipkiss Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Arkady72! This is stunning work! Even if it's not in my "range of interests" I really enjoy watching models like this. As usually very good weathering and paintwork. Great stuff! Cheers Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
