Mark M Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 well chaps not long now until the start, only a few days to go, and i cant wait i have my 1/48 to finish (belieze) and 2 x 1/72's one in 208sqn markings to go with a hawk the other im not sure about yet (i doubt i will have time anyway)
theplasticsurgeon Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Eagerly awaiting the green flag for this one. I've just come back from holiday - and read Phoenix Squadron whilst I was away. And I just happen to have a 1/48 FAA Buccaneer, that will be brought down from my loft - when the cases are put away. Mine will have the Blue/Red roundels on the book cover rather than then mission which was as boxart - as I've already discovered that the underwing ones are just the right size for a silver 1/72 Lightning. :shithappens:
Mark M Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 thats a cracking book hance i made the decals for mine to do the belize over flight one i will resart my thread of it here and make a start
TEZ Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Bit late and probably biting off more than I can chew having joined the F-4 GB but this would seem a good opportunity to make another Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer. The subject will be XX889 in the grey scheme/12 Squadron (As I saw her at Yeovilton). She will be crewed up and taxiing with wings folded. Markings will come from various sources (Check Six, Modeldecal, Xtradecal, Airdoc (RAFG F-4 stencil sheet)), and of course the kit decal sheet. Cockpit details will come courtesy of the Neomega offering as well as Eduard and FlightPath. She will be 'armed' with CBLS (FlightPath) and an ALQ-101 (FlightPath). Andrew

AnonymousAA72 Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 i had a panic after i posted that, that i had the wrong engines! ...both - of course.... Anyway, put me down for one - its about time I built another Brick! Not sure what yet - but I suspect it will by RAF and in 1/48th ....
Mark M Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 welcome bill im already looking forward to your build

ollieholmes Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Can i join to the group? i have an 1/48 Royal Navy Buccaneer builded in an 30% aprox. Whats been done on it? 30% sounds alright to me so far.
attman007 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Hello everyone. Sounds like a good excuse to finally get the kit off the shelf and to actually start the kit rather than just open the box and day dream about how good it will look once made (they never turn out as good as they do in my day dreams!) This my first group build and I was wondering what is the way of doing things? Do i need to sign up or do i just need to start a build thread??(is that even what its called??) And what are the general do and donts of a group build? Cant wait to get stuck in.......
Mark M Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 check out the rules thread but you are welcome to just start a thread but it must be less than 50% complete by the start of the GB
attman007 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 check out the rules thread but you are welcome to just start a thread but it must be less than 50% complete by the start of the GB Cool its not started at all so no problems on that front!
Mark M Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 welcome!!! then thats another brick in the wall
OzH Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Count me in (work permitting), I'm planning an S.1 using Heritage intakes and a lot of scratch building!
Devilfish Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 I'm ummimg and ahhing over whether or not to get some detail parts for mine or to build it out of the box...... Tempted to build it sat on the cat, which means a minimum of flaps down..... Suggestions?

Suggestions? PAragon Designs do a flap set for her but theres alot of work involved in making them fit and filling in the opening in the fuesalage.
Mark M Posted August 18, 2010 Author Posted August 18, 2010 welcome Ozh, Devilfish I'm ummimg and ahhing over whether or not to get some detail parts for mine or to build it out of the box......Tempted to build it sat on the cat, which means a minimum of flaps down..... Suggestions? what scale are you looking at?
Devilfish Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 welcome Ozh, Devilfishwhat scale are you looking at? 1/48...Picked out a few bits I might get.....
Mark M Posted August 19, 2010 Author Posted August 19, 2010 cool, there will be so many big bricks in this wall! Devilfish are you going to southwell show, it would be nice to meet up as we seem to have the same choice of models, especially when i can virtually see your house over the fields!!
